Ditch the manual spreadsheets

Giving everyone enough individual attention takes time. Once you're hiring multiple people a month, all the scheduling, tracking, sending, and reminding will cost you hours.

HRIS onboarding is usually limited to dry tasks via email. And wikis fail to take people on a motivating journey.
They need motivation, guidance, human interaction, and engaging content to become productive and feel home right away.

One flow to engage them all

Run more than just tasks but connect people for meaningful experiences, buddy programs, learning content, and much more.

How Onboarding Workflow Software Saves You Hours While Improving The Experience For Everyone

About a third of new hires leaves during their first 6 months in the job. One of the main reasons for that: A bad onboarding experience. But doing onboarding well is easier said than done, with as many as 75 tasks that have to be taken care of for every new joiner.

The right workflow software helps you set up your recurring tasks once - and automate the admin work behind onboarding. So you can focus on the personal exchange and strategic improvements of induction.

What is employee onboarding?

This is the process where you bring in new employees and get them oriented to your company. They sign paperwork with HR, do trainings, and generally get adjusted to the way the company works.

Onboarding often involves general training, outlining your company processes and procedures for your new employees.

Now, what's an onboarding workflow?

In essence, a workflow is a standardized process that spans a number of little and big tasks. In onboarding, this flow contains many things that you can automate without sacrificing experience.

What is onboarding workflow software?

Employee onboarding workflow software takes your onboarding process and automates the repetitive parts of it. By setting up one complete workflow, you will structure the whole experience and involve all stakeholders without having to lift a finger.

Benefits of employee onboarding software

The preboarding process alone at companies like Twitter spans 75 tasks. This involves notifying IT to get the laptop ready, preparing people managers, and much, much more.

What goes away by using smart workflows is HR spending hours manually sending emails to IT, people falling through the cracks, new hires feeling lost in their first week, and more.

At the end of the day, a proper onboarding workflow tool will help you get people up to speed faster, increase engagement, and above all: Save hours of manual, unfulfilling work.

How long should onboarding take?

Three months is a commonly used number, although the onboarding process can vary greatly depending on your business. Really, it should take as long as it needs to take.
