The employee onboarding process

The employee onboarding process

One visible process for everyone involved

Onboarding becomes disorganized when contracts, access, training and team introductions depend on different people and nobody can see the whole process. TalentoHQ turns those steps into a workflow with tasks, owners, dates and notifications.

Administration might own the employee record and documents; the line manager, the welcome and role expectations; and the new employee, signatures and initial training. Each participant sees their responsibilities, while the process owner can check what has been completed before the first day.

Notifications remind people of the next step, but they do not create engagement by themselves. Their concrete purpose is to prevent a task from becoming buried in email and to give the employee a visible path through their first days.

Tasks, owners and dates

Each step states who should complete it and when. The process owner can review overall progress; each participant sees their own tasks and the related documents.

Reuse a reviewed template

Form for creating an onboarding process with owners, tasks and dates

Before reusing the process, review the most recent onboarding: which task was late, who needed to resolve it and which document was missing. Update those responsibilities in TalentoHQ and use the revised template for the next hire.
