Save time and empower new hires with Avanti Onboarding

Onboarding new employees is a core responsibility shared by HR and people managers, playing a key role in the hiring process. It shapes the employee journey and lays down the foundation for long-term success within the company.

A well-crafted onboarding experience sets the stage for what new employees can expect, reassures their decision to join your team, and helps them feel connected to your company's culture. Employees who experience a thoughtful onboarding process are typically more engaged, productive, and likely to stay long-term. That’s why it is worth planning and investing time and resources to get it right.

Yet, turning new hires into engaged and committed team members is no small feat. It can be challenging, as hiring teams are often burdened with administrative and time-consuming tasks. From filling out forms and managing data entry to coordinating across departments, these tasks can quickly become tedious and repetitive.

So, how can you develop an effective employee onboarding process?

With an employee onboarding system.

The right employee onboarding system simplifies and streamlines the process, making onboarding more efficient and effective. Avanti’s employee onboarding system optimizes onboarding tasks, helping ensure new hires are engaged and ready to contribute.

Let’s take a closer look at Avanti's onboarding platform by exploring its key features and functions that make onboarding effortless, along with its latest enhancement: a newly redesigned interface that offers a fresh, seamless experience for the entire team.

Personalized onboarding experience

Avanti’s employee onboarding system offers a personalized onboarding experience for each new hire, starting with a personalized welcome dashboard. This dashboard greets new employees with a customizable welcome message that can include primary contacts, along with an outline of the onboarding process to help them feel supported and informed from the very start.

Guide onboarding with auto-assigned tasks and progress tracking

Ensure a smooth and efficient onboarding experience with progress tracking and auto-assigned tasks. The task list outlines all essential steps for new hires, keeping them focused and on track throughout their onboarding journey.

Custom, automated workflows streamline the process by guiding new employees through each step of the employee onboarding process — reducing manual work and saving valuable time.

Notifications and reminders

Stay informed with real-time notifications when new hires complete tasks, and provide timely reminders for the next steps. These workflows can also send new hire ASSP login information and notify internal teams when onboarding is complete.

Personal information and compliance

Simplify collecting and managing essential employee information. With Avanti Onboarding, you can securely gather personal details such as home address, phone number, email, date of birth, Social Insurance Number, and more. Employees can also securely provide their tax information, ensuring that payroll processing remains accurate and compliant.

Document management and e-signatures

Flexible integration options

Avanti Onboarding seamlessly integrates with the Avanti payroll system and other recruitment modules. As part of Avanti’s all-in-one platform, it automatically syncs employee profiles with payroll information, ensuring that new hires are payroll-ready and eligible for payday from day one.

What’s new: Avanti Onboarding gets a redesign

As you know, the employee onboarding process is often one of the first impressions a new employee has of their job and the company they will be working for, which makes it crucial to provide a positive and engaging onboarding experience. That's why we gave Avanti Onboarding a makeover.

Nothing has changed about all the tools you know and love. We kept all the current features intact and added a few enhancements, such as the ability to set additional types of personal information, like email addresses, as required. But the real focus is on the design.

The fresh new look features a sleek, modern UI that seamlessly integrates with our current products and aligns with our latest self-service tool features, ensuring a cohesive and user-friendly experience across all our systems and platforms.

This redesign brings us closer to our goal: empowering you with the tools needed to manage and support new hires with greater ease and impact.

With streamlined workflows, enhanced document management, and improved navigation, the redesigned onboarding platform boosts efficiency, ensures compliance, and delivers a more consistent, supportive, and engaging employee onboarding experience, all while reducing manual tasks and the time required to onboard new hires effectively.
