Employee onboarding

After accepting an offer, new hires often heard from the company only shortly before their start date. In the onBOARD module, we divided onboarding into stages with electronic document delivery and an approval workflow.

Employee onboarding

Electronic document delivery

Start-of-employment documents can be sent to a new hire electronically before their first working day.

Document approval workflows

Every document follows a defined approval path, so it is clear what has been confirmed and what is still missing.

Automated employee-hiring steps

Prepared scenarios for different roles guide each start through smaller stages with specific goals.

Solution

Fragmented start for new employees

After accepting an offer, candidates often experienced a period when the company contacted them only shortly before their start date.

Early-employment processes are similar for new hires, yet include documents, training, access and confirmations that needed to be managed in stages.

Staged onboarding in the onBOARD module

We divided the hiring process into smaller stages with specific goals and prepared automated scenarios for different roles.

Notifications, document management, training and employee benefits can be connected to the workflow in the onBOARD module.

The process can be adjusted to the company’s needs and to legislative changes, and extended step by step with further HR modules.

Result

Before

Between accepting an offer and starting work, candidates often heard from the company only at the last minute. Documents, training, access and confirmations were handled without clearly defined stages, even though the process differed little from one new hire to the next.

After

Each start follows a scenario for the specific role, which splits it into smaller stages with clear goals. Documents are delivered electronically and approved in a workflow, which connects to notifications, training and employee benefits.

Project outcomes

  • Electronic document delivery to new hires
  • Managed approval in a single workflow
  • Onboarding scenarios by role

Key takeaway

Breaking onboarding into defined steps creates a process that can be automated and tracked. The digital workflow can also be extended with further HR modules as requirements develop.

Frequently asked questions

How is a new hire journey divided into onboarding stages?

We divided the hiring process into smaller stages, each with a specific goal. The stages cover the documents, training, access and confirmations a new employee needs at the start of employment. This makes it visible which phase each start has reached and allows individual steps to be automated. The aim was also to shorten the period when candidates heard nothing after accepting an offer.

Which documents and confirmations can the onBOARD workflow manage?

The workflow handles the documents and confirmations that accompany the start of employment, including those related to training and access. Documents are delivered to the new employee electronically, and their approval follows a defined approval path. The exact set of documents is determined by the company’s needs and can be adjusted, for example when legislation changes.

How are onboarding scenarios adapted for different roles?

Separate automated scenarios are prepared for different roles. The basic onboarding steps are similar for all new hires, but the scenario for a given role determines which stages, documents and training the new colleague goes through. The process is adaptable, so it can be adjusted to the company’s needs and to legislative changes.

Which connected modules can extend the onboarding process?

Notifications, document management, training and employee benefits can be connected to the onboarding workflow in the onBOARD module. The onboarding steps can therefore continue smoothly into training or benefit administration within a single process. Extensions can be added gradually as HR’s requirements for the digital workflow develop.
