onboarding is an often <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/employee-induction-mistakes\/\">neglected part of the employee experience<\/a>. Getting it right does so much more than <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/streamline-hr-processes\/\">streamline your HR admin<\/a>; implementing a great employee onboarding process can set the tone for a wonderful working relationship.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-new-employee-onboarding-process\">What is a new employee onboarding process?<\/h2>\nAn onboarding process consists of the steps you take to get new employees established within your business. It\u2019s an important process to integrate employees into a team. During this time employees will learn all about their new job, build relationships with their team members, set up their technology or equipment and complete essential administration.\n\nAn effective onboarding process generally starts prior to an employee\u2019s start date, following the recruitment process. It\u2019s managed by human resources teams, hiring managers and sometimes other team members.\n\nA well run onboarding process can set the tone for employee engagement and support strong employee performance from day one. It should make new employees feel motivated and comfortable in equal parts. A poorly run onboarding process can slow down an employee\u2019s entry to the business and make them doubt their place in the company. It has the potential to cause quick turnover which can come at a great cost.\n\nNot convinced about the importance of an onboarding process? Here are some great examples of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/killer-onboarding-programs\/\">onboarding programs of successful companies<\/a> that are still in place today.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4200\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4200\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two women talking about work\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4200\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-1-1-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>A great process will make employees feel welcome and excited.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"what-makes-a-good-onboarding-experience\">What makes a good onboarding experience?<\/h2>\nSo what makes an onboarding experience positive or not? Let\u2019s look at the basics of a badly run and well run process.\n\nA well run process will have new employees feeling supported from the moment they accept their job offer. Communication should flow from the recruitment process, throughout the person\u2019s notice period and through to their first day with the business. Every step of the way the new team member should feel informed and empowered to ask questions.\n\nIdeally, their administrative tasks (providing personal and payroll information, logging certifications, acknowledging policies and signing contracts), will be sorted prior to their start date, so that they can focus on learning about the business, without having to worry about the paperwork.\n\nFrom their first day they will feel warmly welcomed, with their direct manager, HR professionals and department team working together to share a sense of workplace culture. There should be a good mix of learning and one on one time. During this induction, the new team member should ideally feel inspired and motivated by the company\u2019s values and mission. They will know all the essential information about the business, and their place within it.\n\nA proactive approach will see onboarding reach beyond day one. The first week and the first month should still have plenty of learning opportunities, getting-to-know you sessions and knowledge sharing. The entire experience should wrap up around 30 days in.\n\n<h2 id=\"why-is-a-structured-onboarding-process-important\">Why is a structured onboarding process important?<\/h2>\nUpon reading the above, you might be thinking; that\u2019s over a month of onboarding activities for new hires &#8211; how do I keep track of all of this?\n\nFor effective onboarding programs, trying to do them on an ad-hoc basis isn\u2019t going to work. You might have the best of intentions, but if you\u2019re not organised you could end up missing essential tasks &#8211; and confuse your new hires and existing employees in the process.\n\nFor this reason, a structured process based around a detailed checklist is definitely the way to go!

Let\u2019s unpack some of the most common issues before we jump into our actionable steps that can help you improve your onboarding process for good.\n<h3 id=\"1-paperwork-takes-up-too-much-time\">1. Paperwork takes up too much time<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s nothing less inspiring as a new employee than arriving at your workplace, full of first day energy and enthusiasm, only to find yourself neck-deep in paperwork. Not only can this kill the excitement, completing paperwork on a first day when it could have been managed prior is not an effective approach.\n\n<strong>You know you have this problem if;<\/strong> your new team members are spending hours completing and sourcing information on their first day, and appearing confused or disengaged around piles of paperwork.\n<h3 id=\"2-onboarding-program-elements-are-managed-by-too-many-people\">2. Onboarding program elements are managed by too many people<\/h3>\nWhen it comes to a new hire\u2019s onboarding, who\u2019s managing their administration? Who\u2019s booking a team lunch? Who\u2019s introducing them to senior leaders and who\u2019s managing their key priorities? Effective work is all about delegation, but too many cooks working to an unstructured plan can quickly see things go haywire.\n\n<strong>You know you have this problem if;<\/strong> your new employees seem unsure who they should direct their questions to, or they don\u2019t seem to know who\u2019s who in the team. They also might miss a critical part of the process because it\u2019s being managed by someone who hasn\u2019t had a proper briefing.\n<h3 id=\"3-theres-not-enough-time-to-make-a-great-first-impression\">3. There\u2019s not enough time to make a great first impression<\/h3>\nWhen we onboard new talent, we have to balance their introduction to a business with all of our other priorities and deadlines. If there\u2019s one thing we know for sure &#8211; it\u2019s that onboarding takes time. It can be very challenging for a hiring manager to give their new hires the attention they need, but without it &#8211; their first few weeks could be chaotic.\n\n<strong>You know you have this problem if;<\/strong> new hires at your business seem to be trying to navigate things on their own, or if your hiring managers can\u2019t report back on how the new employee is progressing due to existing high-priority projects.\n<h3 id=\"4-your-onboarding-process-is-hard-to-update-or-develop\">4. Your onboarding process is hard to update or develop<\/h3>\nFor growing SMEs, it\u2019s important to recognise that onboarding &#8211; along with your other business processes &#8211; should always be evolving.\n\nWhat worked for you when you had five employees probably won\u2019t be as effective once you have 20 employees. If you\u2019re finding it hard to solicit feedback or embrace modern technology, you\u2019ll quickly run into more problems with this essential process.\n\n<strong>You know you have this problem if;<\/strong> you\u2019re still relying on outdated tools like paper policies and snail mail. Your program and management style has remained unchanged, you\u2019ve outgrown your current systems and you haven\u2019t sought feedback to improve your employee onboarding process.\n<h3 id=\"5-employees-are-feeling-overwhelmed-at-the-end-of-onboarding\">5. Employees are feeling overwhelmed at the end of onboarding<\/h3>\nWith so much information to take onboard, a new workplace to navigate and a new culture to dive into &#8211; it\u2019s no wonder that many employees finish their onboarding process feeling overwhelmed.\n\nThis feeling of bombardment can impact new hire productivity and initial job satisfaction, making it more challenging for employees to feel confident in their role.\n\n<strong>You know you have this problem if;<\/strong> your employees are sporting glazed-over looks at the end of their first week, or they seem exhausted and confused when you ask them about their experience so far.\n<h2 id=\"how-to-improve-and-streamline-your-onboarding-processes\">How to improve and streamline your onboarding processes<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"\"><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"1-regularly-review-your-onboarding-process\">1. Regularly review your onboarding process<\/h3>\nYou\u2019re always looking for better ways to run your business, and your onboarding process needs to be part of those considerations.\n\nTrack the positive impact of your onboarding over time; do new hires seem to be embracing the business and their roles, resulting in great productivity, minimal absenteeism and a good rate of new hire retention? There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/people-analytics-101\/\">people analytics<\/a> you can use to get a better sense of the employee experience within your business.\n\nFrom the data and feedback that you collect, you can start to make tweaks to optimise your process. We recommend reviewing your process annually or biannually to make sure that the experience is evolving at the same rate as your business.\n<h3 id=\"2-get-feedback-with-anonymous-surveys\">2. Get feedback with anonymous surveys<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re unsure on how to best collect feedback to review your onboarding process, we have a simple solution. Ask your new hires.\n\nHow can you make sure that you\u2019re getting honest responses? Issue an anonymous survey. This is your best way to source feedback that will be properly actionable. With <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/solutions\/employee-engagement-software\/#happy\/\">91爆料\u2019s anonymous survey feature<\/a>, you can collect actionable data quickly and easily. Your employees can fill out their survey on the desktop or mobile app, delivering you results in one centralised location.\n\nWhat questions should you consider asking? Here are a few of our favourites to get you started\u2026\n<ul>\n<li>On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with your onboarding experience?<\/li>\n<li>Did you feel like you were given all of the tools and information to embrace your new job effectively?<\/li>\n<li>Did you feel like you were properly introduced to our company culture?<\/li>\n<li>Did you feel welcomed by your teammates and the business\u2019 HR leaders?<\/li>\n<li>Do you feel inspired to pursue career development with us based on your onboarding experience?<\/li>\n<li>If you were to design the process, is there anything you would change when onboarding employees?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any onboarding practices you remember fondly from old workplaces?

Automate the employee onboarding process<\/h3>\nFunctionality that&#8217;s changing the way businesses think about employee onboarding admin is automation, enabled through <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/products\/hr-software\/\">automated hr systems<\/a> (like 91爆料). Automation creates a new onboarding process flow that can relieve HR teams from admin and reduce human error. Most importantly &#8211; it gives your team valuable time back to focus on welcoming your new hire.\n\nAt its core, automation alleviates the headache of organising and completing new hire paperwork. It works by triggering a series of actions when you enter a new employee into the system. When your employee accepts their job offer, they will be sent a link to create an employee profile on the platform.\n\nFrom there, they can access their digital employment contract which will be stored on-platform, and be able to begin uploading their personal HR and payroll information. They&#8217;ll also be instantly assigned policies, training and more. All information is then stored securely on the <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/solutions\/onboarding-software\/\">employee onboarding platform<\/a>.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4204\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4204\" style=\"width: 1881px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Screenshot of company policies\" class=\"wp-image-4204 size-full\" height=\"961\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-3.png\" width=\"1881\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4204\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Employees can acknowledge company policies before they start<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_4203\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4203\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Screenshot of induction content\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4203\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-4-1024x336.png\" width=\"1024\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Assign induction content to employees<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"4-create-a-central-source-of-truth\">4. Create a central source of truth<\/h3>\nRemember that \u2018too many cooks\u2019 pain point we spoke about earlier? The reality is, great onboarding programs will require a team effort. But, to avoid the chaos and make the most of everyone\u2019s time, you need to create a structured program located in a central source of truth.\n\nWhat does it mean to have a central source of truth? Well, this generally refers to having one location where important information is stored and updated.\n\nEveryone working on a project (which, in this case, is welcoming a new employee) can see the status of tasks and communicate updates or flag important details. With everyone having full visibility over the same process, your team can easily avoid the double-handling of tasks and make sure that nothing is missed.\n\nYou can create a centralised source of truth on cloud-based documents, but we definitely prefer using a HRIS (human resources information system). With our smart, cloud-based software, the involved members of your team can be assigned relevant checklist tasks, look at due dates and have visibility over a new employee&#8217;s entire onboarding process.\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_12640\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12640\" style=\"width: 1229px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Screenshot of central onboarding process\" class=\"wp-image-12640 size-full\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-5-1536x1536-1.png\" width=\"1229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-5-1536x1536-1.png 1229w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-5-1536x1536-1-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-5-1536x1536-1-1024x528.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-5-1536x1536-1-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/06\/tips-to-improve-your-onboarding-process-5-1536x1536-1-440x227.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1229px) 100vw, 1229px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12640\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Easily assign and see the status of tasks with our central onboarding checklists.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"5-start-your-employees-mid-week\">5.

Start your new hire on a Wednesday.\n\nThis incredibly simple change to an onboarding program can make a big difference to your team and your new hires. By doing this, you reduce the risk of overwhelming your new team members by limiting their information intake to three days and giving them the weekend to digest everything they\u2019ve learned.\n\nYou also help your existing team by giving them time early in the week to dedicate to important tasks, with the second half of the week cleared for supporting new employees.\n\nGive this easy hack a try and watch several onboarding pain points melt away!
