What will the induction process look like, what’s the best way of making the initial contact, what do you do when you first arrive and how do you find your way around?… Is there anyone who genuinely has never asked themselves questions like these? « My experience at the Hôtel Carlton wasn’t good. I got very stressed, because I knew very little about what would happen on my first day there”, says hotel concierge Tatiana. “I received a lot of e-mails, but very little useful information; it was basically a total blur“. Tatiana is certainly not alone, and her feelings are shared by many. This is why companies’ HR departments are vying with each other to offer better onboarding to their employees, particularly through digital means.

Why does digital onboarding make a difference in business ?

Onboarding is the phase of welcoming a new employee into a company. Needless to say, this phase is very important for everyone. Not only do companies reduce their recruitment costs, but it also allows them to retain employees and thus reduce the famous turnover.

The goal is to have a successful onboarding! But how? The goal is to easily transmit to the new employee all the information he or she will need to feel comfortable in his or her new position: organization chart, internal rules, IT charter, office map, etc. This is where digital onboarding comes into its own, with all this information being directly available in a Welcome app.

Digital onboarding: how does the Welcome App work ?

Specific to digital onboarding, a Welcome app is an enjoyable, personalised and bespoke app that facilitates the induction process for new employees. It starts the relationship building process even before the new arrival steps foot in their new working environment, which is reassuring for even the shyest of us !

Because they’re customisable, these apps are suitable for every type of business. Internal tasks are pre-defined automatically, each stage is individually defined, and the result is to build interpersonal relationships. All the relevant information is centralised, and events can be created directly inside the app.

A Welcome App can also reach a larger number of future employees, because it is automated and can be adopted and used by each recipient at their own pace. This new technology delivers two key benefits: on the one hand, it saves time for companies, boosts their productivity and enhances their brand image. On the other hand, the fact that employees have the support they expect and need strengthens their bond with the company. They no longer feel abandoned to their own devices thanks to digital onboarding !

So it’s a perfect opportunity to get off to a great start, Welcome Aboard !
