Mastering Employee Onboarding: Enhance Efficiency with OutSystems' Seamless Digital Solutions

What Does Employee Onboarding Entail?

Employee onboarding is the process of smoothing the transition from new hire to team member. The immediate goals are to make new employees feel welcome and acclimate them to the organization’s culture, get them up and running to be productive and engaged as quickly as possible, and — no less important — create an experience that will establish your company as a standard-bearing employer of choice. Doing so successfully will generate goodwill, increase retention, and ultimately create value in the form of employee productivity, loyalty, and retention.

Why Employee Onboarding Matters for Your Organization?

Did you know that 20% of employee turnover occurs in the first 45 days of a new job? Those first few weeks and months are crucial for employee retention, which is why a good employee onboarding experience is so critical. Imagine devoting valuable time and resources in a tight labor market to recruiting, interviewing, vetting, and hiring the talent your organization needs to achieve its strategic goals, only to lose that talent in less than two months and start back at zero.

The 4 Key Characteristics of a Successful Employee Onboarding Process

Welcoming

First impressions are the most important, which is why you should make employee experience (EX) the foundation of your onboarding strategy.

Tailored

Just as the onboarding experience should be an expression of your organization’s brand and culture, it should also be specific to the role your new employee will be taking on.

Effortless

Onboarding is a dynamic process involving multiple stakeholders, a complex workflow, and many organizational departments. The key to excellent onboarding is to make this complexity invisible to the employee as well as to the HR staff.

Digital

Indeed, you can accomplish some of these onboarding process goals with a paper-based system, but not all of them. And certainly not easily. The world has gone digital!
