Automate
What does “automate your process” mean?
Personalized yet consistent onboarding requires HR to be there whenever a new hire needs you. It means having different versions of your journey for each onboardee. Which requires buy-in and engagement from existing managers and team members.
Already that sounds like a lot of work, and in fact 57% of HR managers believe that lack of time is one of the biggest barriers to effective onboarding.
That’s where automation is key.
Automating your processes will free up time for HR, ensure your new hires key contacts are “in-the-loop” and, if done well, will let you deploy your journey across multiple locations and departments at the push of a button.
Automation requires technology.
You need a system that can manage employees' data in a secure way. One that gives HR the ability to easily add or remove content for specific employees, and that gives both onboardees and administrators prompts and guidance of how and when to proceed. Ideally, it’s cloud-based, so your employees have on-the-go access and HR can push updates at the press of a button.
How do we automate onboarding?
Automation takes work.
The content for each journey you want to offer needs to be fully realized and mapped out. But with a dedicated team and the right software, you can automate your processes quickly.
For example, the team at Vinçotte managed to overhaul their entire onboarding journey in just 9 weeks by partnering with Talmundo.
Remove one or both of these elements and it will take you longer and cost you more. The good news is that you only need to do this once—and in the long run you’ll save yourself (and your team) time and resources—up to 5+ hours per onboardee in administrative work alone.
