  • Relationship with the employee portal
    Some of the data from onboarding is transferred to the employee portal and displayed to onboardees.
    See: Employee portal: Settings in onboarding
    It may also be necessary to adapt correspondence templates so that onboardees are always addressed correctly. See Employee portal: customize system correspondence templates

    • Feedback on onboarding
      Onboardees can provide feedback on onboarding via the employee portal. This can be found in the menu item Portal settings in the Analysis tab.
  • Renaming
    Changes to the personal data are possible at any time. These are immediately visible to everyone and are also updated in the employee portal. Onboardees are thus correctly addressed at all times.
  • Deletion
    Onboardings can be deleted at any time. However, you may lose your reporting as a result. Although it is possible to keep statistical data, experience has shown that this is not sufficient in many cases.We therefore recommend ending or pausing onboarding. You can access the buttons via the gear symbol in onboarding. In the onboarding overview on the Onboardings  page, these onboardings are no longer displayed, as they are always filtered by active onboardings first.


How our customers use this

In addition to the Onboardings page, which shows an overview of all onboardings and current tasks, onboarding itself is the linchpin of the entire onboarding process for you. The individual onboardings are called up just as often, data is checked, new data is added and access to the employee portal is granted or withdrawn.
