Good onboarding is not a luxury, but a necessity. New employees who don't find their way around quickly cost organizations an average of between €5,000 and €15,000 in lost productivity and extra guidance. According to Gallup, only 12% of employees really feel well trained: that means that the vast majority spend too long looking for information, colleagues or processes.
A central onboarding portal helps new colleagues get an immediate overview: who's who, what's playing, where do I find what? It speeds up the induction period, increases engagement and reduces the risk of early departure; which quickly saves tens of thousands of euros. In short, a smartly designed starting portal is worth its weight in gold for a flying start. That's why we're introducing Embrace Onboarding, a unique starting portal for new employees.
Onboarding dashboard
New employees have different information needs than employees who have been employed for years. That's why you don't want to overload them with all the information from the knowledge base. Therefore, offer articles, news reports and workflows that are specifically aimed at (onboarding) new employees. Here, a new employee immediately reads the most important information. Top it off with an introduction message for new employees, such as a welcome video from the management. This way, a new employee immediately feels at home with your organization.
Widgets
Complete the dashboard in the specific onboarding widgets. Create a to-do list for new employees, where tasks can be ticked off. Think about reading an important vision document, or introducing yourself to your colleagues on the timeline. You can also encourage new employees to further complete their profiles with the profile status widget. Both widgets are visible in the dashboard above. As an administrator, with the Embrace portal builder, you can fully decide what information you offer to new employees.
Social intranet is ideal for onboarding
Other features in the social intranet are ideal for onboarding new employees. For example, create a group for new employees, where questions can be asked and a selected group of experienced employees can act as “buddies”. Consider a timeline where an employee is quickly up to date with the latest updates, ongoing projects and organizational culture, or where a new employee can introduce themselves to colleagues. The face book lets you immediately see all your colleagues: what do they do, where do they work and who are they? Find relevant documents and protocols via the search engine and document module. Through the knowledge base and news, you will always stay up to date with everything that is going on within the organization. Embrace Social is the starting point of your working day.
