Emerge Services: Employee Onboarding

Employee onboarding is a necessary step in ensuring that new employees have the tools they need to do their job. Additionally, the training that an employee receives when they begin a new job will help them to better understand the company and what is to be expected from them in their new role. Onboarding can prepare employees for scenarios that they may encounter on the job, as well as the basic day to day tasks they will be performing. 

Researchers say that employee onboarding is one of the most important functions of HR, as it plays a critical role in an employee’s engagement, productivity, commitment, and retention. The availability and popularity of eLearning makes onboarding training more accessible and convenient than ever before. New employees can participate in onboarding from any location at any time without relying on anyone else’s schedule. With a virtual training plan, employees can participate in their onboarding promptly after being hired, allowing them to feel confident and prepared when they begin working. Nearly 33% of new hires look for a new job within their first six months on the job. A successful onboarding program that prepares new hires for the future within a company will create the supportive environment that employees want to work in. 

Utilizing eLearning for onboarding also allows managers and HR representatives to easily track employee’s progress. Managers can view how much of the training employees still have left, as well as their performance on training. Utilizing eLearning will also greatly cut down on the typical onboarding costs of travel, increasing your return on investment.
