“Employee onboarding touches every employee that enters an organisation. As a result, getting it right isn’t only important for employee experience and retention, but delays and disruptions throughout onboarding can negatively impact a business’s bottom line,” said Niranjan Vijayaragavan, Chief Product Officer at Nintex. “Getting the onboarding experience right requires tight coordination across HR, Finance, IT, and hiring managers across all business units. Nintex Employee Onboarding brings these teams together to improve efficiency internally and provide a more consistent experience for new employees.”

Onboarding experiences influence employee productivity and retention

According to research, 80% of employees who have a poor onboarding experience plan to leave soon after joining. Even further, 17% of new hires will leave a new job sometime between their first seven and 90 days of employment. Additionally, the average cost to onboard a single employee is $1,500, which means if you hired 100 employees, that’s a total of $25,500 wasted on 17 employees who left your company within the first 90 days.

While many organisations have automated key HR use cases through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS), critical onboarding workflows are often left manual as this process typically spans across multiple systems and requires collaboration across departments.

Improve new hire onboarding processes and reduce associated costs with Nintex

Many organisations have an HR system that they rely on for core HR processes, but have added numerous applications to manage employee onboarding – complicating the process further. With Nintex Employee Onboarding, HR, Finance, and IT teams have a purpose-built solution that allows them to remove bolt-on tools and easily integrate onboarding into core systems, enabling them to:

• Create branded new hire portals. HR teams can easily configure onboarding flows without technical support to provide a branded experience where new hires can complete key tasks using a self-service interface.
• Automate new employee setup. Import new employee data into HRIS systems through an out-of-the-box integration, removing the need for redundant data entry.
• Customise approvals, documents, and signatures. Modify onboarding steps, business system integration settings, and day one information for each role type.
• Set up an internal operations portal. Launch pre-built processes to initiate new hires, configure roles, track progress, and more in a single, intuitive, end-to-end system.

The Nintex Employee Onboarding solution was built using Nintex Solution Studio – a portal that helps IT and business teams easily design and build solutions that automate the unique business process challenges of their organisations – and adds to the growing set of pre-built solutions from Nintex, including Nintex Licensing & Permitting for public sector agencies.
