Induction & Onboarding
The first weeks decide whether a new hire thrives or drifts. We design structured induction and onboarding that gets people productive and settled quickly, and starts the employment relationship the way you mean to continue.
What we do
We build an onboarding experience tailored to your business and each role: pre-start communication so day one is expected rather than awkward, first-day and first-week checklists, structured introductions to the people and systems that matter, and role-specific training plans with clear milestones. We prepare the compliance layer too, making sure agreements are signed, policies acknowledged and health and safety inductions completed and recorded. A 90-day check-in framework closes the loop, catching concerns while they are still easy to address.
Why it matters
Turnover is most likely in the first months of employment, and it is nearly always an onboarding failure rather than a hiring one. Replacing someone costs far more than inducting them properly would have. Good onboarding also compounds: people who are set up well reach full productivity faster, absorb your culture deliberately rather than accidentally, and describe your business well to others. And if a trial period ever needs to be relied on, a documented onboarding process with clear expectations is what makes that fair and defensible.
How it works with Hello Monday
We audit your current onboarding, from offer acceptance to the end of the first quarter, and identify where new hires are being left to sink or swim. Then we design the programme, build the checklists and templates, and train whoever runs it internally. For retained clients we can administer onboarding directly, including running the 90-day check-ins. If you use Employment Hero, we digitise the whole flow so nothing depends on someone remembering.
