An onboarding system ensures that every new employee goes through a structured starting process — from signing the contract through setting up access and training to the first review meeting. Instead of manually coordinating emails and tasks, the system automatically triggers a checklist of activities for HR, the manager and the employee themselves.
Typical features of an onboarding system:
- Automatic triggering of a checklist of tasks on starting
- Assignment of a buddy / mentor
- Management of documents and contracts to sign
- Tracking of onboarding progress (who completed what)
- Notifications for HR and managers in case of delay
