How to optimize employee onboarding

December 21, 2021By Sophie

If you google it, you will find many different guides or checklists about HR processes and especially employee onboarding. These guides vary in some cases and cover everything from the recruiting process to the first day or even weeks of the new employee’s job. Although they are very different, they all have one thing in common: There is a lot to do, for example many tasks like paperwork or onboarding training for new employees and much more.

The importance of HR processes

According to Sapling 58% of organizations still focus on processes and paperwork in their employee onboarding. They also say that HR processes should focus more on people rather than paperwork.

This study shows that HR processes are complex and require constant transformation. What is more, such figures show that the work of HR staff also needs to be made easier.

The onboarding process is also essential for new employees. A survey conducted by The Harris Poll showed that 93% of new employees think that the onboarding experience is an important factor. It is also important to mention that one-third of employees were unhappy with their own onboarding when they started their job. Some employees even left their company for that reason.

Both examples show that HR processes especially employee onboarding is critical for both, the HR department, and new employees. It’s clear that HR departments should digitize their processes. At the same time, they need to ensure that new employees get a great onboarding to increase their satisfaction.

The study mentioned before shows that onboarding is also crucial for new employees. But what should good employee onboarding look like? And how can you make sure that your new employees are happy and have a great start with their new job?

In the first days there is usually a lot to do, there are many apps that the user gets. It often takes some time to find out which apps an employee still needs access to. In addition, there are still many things to do, especially in the beginning. Such as paperwork or familiarizing with the company or the product. Among all the apps and tasks, the employee can quickly lose the overview. It makes a lot of sense to support the employees right from the start.
