Since the late 1990s, the boom in technology has paved the way to inculcate smart and technologically savvy methods to promote learning outcomes. Often, business organizations overlook\u00a0employee\u00a0onboarding and training, even though\u00a0it touches almost every aspect of a business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Operational excellence and efficiency are key pillars of success for any enterprise. Faster and effective onboarding of new employees has become one of the key performance areas for HR\u00a0and Managers in today’s competitive era.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mitigating challenges of Traditional\u00a0Employee\u00a0Onboarding<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

According to a study, it\u00a0takes up to 24 days\u00a0and up to $4000\u00a0to\u00a0hire\u00a0a new employee. With such a\u00a0considerable amount of expenses,\u00a0the further delay only adds to this cost\u00a0and also\u00a0declines\u00a0the\u00a0organization’s operating speed.\u00a0We also cannot ignore the fact that\u00a0conventional onboarding\u00a0includes\u00a0classroom training, print costs, administration time, and provisioning.\u00a0While an effective onboarding process can\u00a0increase productivity by 11%,\u00a088% of all employees\u00a0feel dissatisfied with their onboarding process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most organizations focus too much on\u00a0check-lists completion, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily translate to have successfully onboarded a new hire. The best\u00a0onboarding processes are the kind that finds a good balance between the practical moments, availability of onboarding resources, and an engaging experience for the employees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As per a survey <\/a>conducted by the right management, 52% of organizations perceive effective onboarding as improving retention rates. The same survey indicates a 60% improvement in overall time to productivity and 53% of overall customer satisfaction. Additionally, 30% believe long-term outcomes of good onboarding include job satisfaction and organizational commitment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Surveys have found that\u00a0employees strongly favor innovative and\u00a0visual mediums\u00a0as\u00a0a more engaging way to learn as compared to asking new employees to read onboarding manuals. Employee onboarding isn\u2019t just about providing a corporate handbook and a to-do list. It is the first impression a company makes on its most valuable resource \u2013 its employees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

  1. An automated,\u00a0interactive\u00a0onboarding system can reduce the time taken to onboard new employees from days and weeks to a matter of minutes.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Split up onboard training into bite-size pieces gives new hires time to understand the material and makes sure new employees only cover the materials relevant to them.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Mixing onboarding activities as employees begin to take on regular responsibilities can help provide support and increase productivity.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n
