Onboarding & training

Employee onboarding features organise the first weeks of a new hire. They typically include checklists, assigned tasks, document collection, training content and progress tracking. For example, a new starter receives a checklist covering account setup, policies to read and a first-week training course, and the manager sees what is done. Process Street and Trainual list this feature.

A patchy start means slow ramp-up, repeated questions and things forgotten, such as access or contracts. A repeatable process makes every hire's start consistent and reduces your own involvement. It pays off as soon as you hire more than once or twice a year. If you hire rarely, a simple document may be enough.

• Can you build a template and reuse it for every role?
• Can tasks be assigned to different people, such as IT or finance, with due dates?
• Can you see who has completed what, and get alerted when something stalls?
• Can you attach policies and collect signatures or acknowledgements?
