What is onboarding?

Onboarding of new employees is important. An onboarding process is a series of activities a new employee goes through to get to know the company and become productive in their new workplace. An onboarding process should also include a series of tasks for other people in the company to perform in order for a new employee to take up their role in the company.

For us in 4human Onboarding is more than the period after the first day of work. When we talk about onboarding, we include the entire period from the employment contract is signed until the employee has their first regular day of work and through the entire probationary period. Many people only talk about the period from the first day of work.

We believe that companies can create an increased sense of belonging in new employees if they are included in the organizational culture and structure as early as possible. This cultivates the motivation of the new employee that the company can reap from later. For many, it is no longer enough to get a PC, key and flowers on the desk the first day you show up. Onboarding should be fun, both for the new employee and the company. It helps 4human HRM's onboarding application helps customers achieve this in all their new hires.

A good onboarding process where the employee feels included early on reduces turnover. Employee turnover is a major cost for businesses around the world.

Preboarding and onboarding of new employees - how to proceed?

After contract negotiations, digital employment contracts can be generated in 4human 's HR system . Once the employment contract has been signed by both parties, the new employee can be assigned an onboarding program. It can usually take one to three months before a new employee has their first day at work. We define this period as the pre-boarding phase. Once the contract has been signed, the new employee can be given access to the system. They can take courses and quizzes, see who works in the various departments, and read the personnel handbook/HSE handbook and any other routines the company has. This way, as a company, you can make new employees productive faster. Managers also get the opportunity to focus more on the social aspect of onboarding.

In the onboarding process, there are often several stages that a new employee must go through. when and after their first day on the job. This can include training with key personnel in other departments, registration of competence, and a probationary interview with the immediate manager. The quality of an onboarding process can vary based on a number of factors. Who the immediate manager is, and what focus and effort the company has put into onboarding will greatly affect the process. Pre- and onboarding set up in a system 4human HRM helps companies optimize and quality assure these processes.

Onboarding in practice

Onboarding in practice can be difficult and time-consuming if you haven't done a thorough needs assessment beforehand. It's important to define the new employee's tasks, what the organization needs, what training is required and how long all this will take. If you get it wrong early on, you risk giving the new employee the wrong idea of what the job entails, as well as providing too little or the wrong training. This increases the likelihood that the new employee will leave the company after a short time.

The companies that really pull this off create multiple videos and other reusable materials that really create a WOW effect with the new employee. 4human HRM lays the foundation for your business to create high-quality onboarding processes, from the business and the new employee's perspective.

Onboarding checklist

The system allows for a digital checklist for onboarding new employees. In this way, you always have control over which tasks have been assigned to different people in the company, and whether these have been completed within defined deadlines.

Has digital onboarding become the new normal?

Digital onboarding ensures that employees become familiar with routines, tasks, the company and the corporate culture before their first day of work. Digital onboarding is very topical given the growing trend for working from home.

Surveys show that younger employees almost take it for granted that companies have good digital support systems for employee onboarding and many choose digitally modern companies over traditional and "old-fashioned" ones.

Good and simplified offboarding

All employment relationships have an end. Similar to onboarding, offboarding is a process that employees and managers must go through during the notice period. There are tasks that must be completed such as handing in equipment and keys/access cards, and terminating access to the company's IT systems. The manager should also conduct an exit interview. It is particularly important that employee data is deleted in accordance with GDPR regulations. Offboarding in 4human HRM ensures that the process runs smoothly and easily for both management and employees.
