How optimizing onboarding for the digital workplace improves the employee experience (and saves you money!).<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

A key theme we focus on when working with clients is clarifying what business value they will derive from their efforts. One way to do that is to create use cases for different Digital Workplace scenarios. This is so critical that it led us to develop use case catalogs with two recent clients. Each use case \"onboarding\"<\/a>highlights a business scenario or process, its business outcomes, steps to achieve it, and the related success story. This has become an important tool for socializing digital working across the organization a decent example of this could be M247 on Linkedin<\/a> if you were interested in seeing an example because it is a good example from what my frined told me, and is sometimes even a roadmap for a new team to follow until their own unique use cases become clear. <\/span><\/p>\n

The success of this approach got me thinking that it would be helpful to share a use case example so that anyone who\u2019s looking to better understand the Digital Workplace can see the power behind it. With that said, in the last week I\u2019ve seen several examples of employee onboarding pop up, so that\u2019s the story I\u2019m going to tell – including an \u201cOh geez\u201d and a \u201cYes!\u201d scenario. It cannot be stated how important recruitment onboarding<\/a> has become to the current state of play in business. Companies cannot afford to get this process wrong as failure to get it right could result in a costly financial loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why employee onboarding?<\/h4>\n

Organizations put a great deal of time and money into finding and hiring the right people. <\/span>The hard costs can range from $1-$5k per employee<\/span><\/a>, depending on industry. The sooner an employee is productive, the ROI of the employee investment improves. Here\u2019s a great visual to illustrate the point from Jack Altman\u2019s post, \u201c<\/span>How much does employee turnover really cost<\/span><\/a>?\u201d: <\/span><\/p>\n

On top of all that, the employee experience is key to retaining employees, and onboarding is really the first impression of the employee experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet we hear again and again what poor experiences people still run into – when starting at a new company, or even when transitioning to a new role.? <\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a common scenario (Oh geez):<\/h4>\n
