How to Improve New Hire Onboarding with Workzoom

Are your onboarding efforts going the way you imagined? Or… Are manual systems wasting time & confusing—everyone? Is payroll frustrated not getting what they need, when they need it? Do departments wonder ‘what’s going on’ with systems that don’t talk to each other

If this sounds like you, you must feel like HR is running you, instead of empowering your organization.

And… like you’re doing little of what you were built for. We’re sure you signed up to help people, while looking into their eyes. Not staring at soul-less screens, then putting out the next onboarding fire.

Unfortunately, we see this way too often. And where…

Department leaders are frustrated with HR when onboarding new joiners too slowly. Workers are frustrated doing the jobs of many, and HR feels under appreciated by executives & department leaders.

Of course this has nothing to do with working hard enough, but instead is about HR lacking the time, budget & staff to fix what needs to be fixed.

Ahh… but there is a fix. And know the worse it is now, the better it can become soon.

According to HBR.org, companies with a formal onboarding program retain 50% of their new recruits AND those recruits achieve 62% more productivity.

So, how do you up your onboarding game? Workzoom’s Recruiting could solve all your problems
