New hire onboarding
Problem
Onboarding a new hire touches several teams, and each handoff is a chance for something to stall. HR collects paperwork, IT sets up equipment, and managers schedule training, with each team often tracking its own piece separately. Nobody sees the full picture, so a missed task can delay a new hire's first productive day without anyone noticing until the hire or their manager asks. As hiring picks up, more people are in flight at different stages, which makes it harder to see who is on track and who is falling behind.
Solution
A custom onboarding application guides each new hire through three stages: orientation, training, and activation, with each stage holding its own tasks. Every task has an owner from HR, IT, or the hiring manager, and a task view shows each person only the work they owe. Due dates are set from the hire's start date, so every hire gets the same timeline without anyone building it by hand. A hire moves to the next stage once the current one is complete, and a manager confirms the hire is ready before they move from training to activation. Tasks that pass their due date are flagged as overdue. A dashboard shows every new hire by stage with overdue tasks highlighted, along with the average time hires spend in each stage, so HR can step in before a delay grows and see where onboarding tends to slow down.
