Starting a new job should feel exciting. Not confusing. SharePoint helps you create a seamless onboarding experience that welcomes new hires, reduces admin stress, and sets everyone up for success from day one.

Why is Employee Onboarding Important?
According to Gallup, employees who have had an exceptional onboarding experience are 2.6 times more likely to be extremely satisfied with their workplace. An onboarding program that has been carefully designed and implemented will ensure a positive employee experience that makes a new employee feel comfortable and secure in their new role and surroundings, leading to greater wellbeing and productivity.
Unfortunately only 12% of employees strongly agreeing that their place of work does a great job onboarding new employees. Organisations facing high staff turnover and a marketplace that is scarce in talent can use a robust onboarding program to retain staff and leverage positive employee referrals.
