Automated Employee Onboarding
Structured onboarding process with 50+ automated steps for a perfect employee experience
The Challenge
Every new hire often means weeks of chaos. HR creates contracts manually, IT needs days for laptop setup and access credentials, the hiring department often doesn't even know someone new is starting. Excel checklists go unmaintained, important steps are forgotten. New colleagues sit at an empty desk on their first day without a laptop, without email access, without orientation. Onboarding stretches over months because training isn't coordinated. Every third new employee considers quitting within the first two weeks - solely because of the chaotic start. The employer brand suffers, probation period turnover sits at 25%. HR spends 15 hours per new hire just on administrative tasks.
Our Solution
A fully automated onboarding workflow coordinates all involved departments from the moment the contract is signed. The system automatically creates all necessary accounts, schedules IT equipment orders, arranges training, and informs all stakeholders. Every new employee receives a personalized onboarding portal with tasks, resources, and contacts. Automatic reminders ensure nothing is forgotten. Managers receive regular status updates. The HR department has an overview of all ongoing onboardings at any time. DocuSign digitizes all signatures, Slack coordinates communication, and Personio serves as the central HR data source.
