Did you know around 20% of all employee turnover happens during the first 45 days of employment? According to a report, around 69% of the employees surveyed said they are more likely to stay at a company for at least 3 years if they had a ‘great on-boarding experience’.
You only get one shot at making a great first impression for your company ‘brand’. However, employee on-boarding has its challenges. New hires are often anxious when they enter a new workplace. Even though they’ve landed a position with your organization, they still feel like they have much to prove to the boss, and their new teammates. Your HR team on the other hand, also struggles with improving the employee experience if they have to manually co-ordinate with other departments, and draw up plans each and every time. Lack of coherence means processes slip through the cracks, and creates issues. How do you fix it?
Employee on-boarding tools today help you create a hassle-free automated on-boarding process. Tools like ServiceNow can transform your on-boarding experience with better coordination and communication by creating a welcoming and positive experience for new-hires. Here, we list 7 ways how.
1) Cutting Out The Email Trail
Hiring managers often end up sending dozens of emails and follow-ups to bring together different departments, if they have to do it manually. Stand-alone HR systems aren’t always up to the task either. Using a tool like ServiceNow, your HR managers can build a framework and get access to a real-time dashboard. This provides better visibility and control over on-boarding processes, without the need for constant email follow-ups.
2) Automated Employee Data
Manual data entry is time-consuming, tedious and repetitive. Using automated on-boarding tools, you have to enter your new employee data only once, and it auto-populates the rest of the forms,
documents, and databases. Using powerful orchestration techniques, you can now better create seamless experiences.
3) Self-Service
Self-service plays a massive role in removing complexities in the on-boarding process. ServiceNow provides a dedicated Employee Service Center (ESC), which is an HR Service Portal for new-hires. It provides new employees with actionable items to complete during on-boarding. It also allows your HR department to track their progress.
4) Better Time-to-Value
One of the biggest advantages of using a complete ITSM + ITOM solution with HR capabilities is that you don’t have to waste time on allocating IT resources. As you already have all the information on your IT resource availability, these tools can readily provision your IT resources like laptops, smartphones, applications, network access, etc. faster for new hires.
5) In-Depth Insights
Better data makes for better decisions. Enterprise automation tools help you track key metrics according to your industry. Built-in survey integrations help you measure your success and focus on continuous service delivery improvement.
6) Improving HR Efficiency
HR productivity increases and they are able to deliver more strategic value to your business when they aren’t bogged down by disparate silos. Using features like knowledge portals and automated case management, you allow your HR to be more efficient and support each individual employee better.
