Onboarding at a time when employees might not be able to meet in person
As the pandemic continues, many companies are engaging in remote work on a large scale for the first time. A poor onboarding process can spoil a new hire’s experience and diminish engagement in the company. Without proper onboarding, new employees can feel isolated, disengaged, and without an understanding of the expectations they are being held to.
Konsolute’s Onboard addresses this challenge by enabling a personalized onboarding experience. Onboard lets managers and administrators select specific induction sessions and videos based on the department, office, or manager to which each new hire is responsible. Onboard mitigates feelings of isolation by enabling an organization to introduce new hires to the relevant people and communities through Microsoft 365 services, such as Microsoft Teams and Yammer. Onboard uses information within Delve, such as skills and interests, to further enhance the recommended communities. The easy, intuitive, and highly configurable interface allows new hires to take in introductory videos, policies and procedures, recommended communities, and more.
With its dashboard feature, Onboard lets administrators closely monitor new hires’ progress through mandatory training procedures, ensuring they have spent an adequate amount of time engaging with and understanding the business’s critical processes and modes of operation. Onboard can also be used to help maintain clarity between new hires and their organization by regularly presenting employees with comprehensive onboarding materials, such as role descriptions and example tasks. Maintaining a structured onboarding process can foster engagement and integrate new employees into company culture from day one.
