Onboarding New Hires: Leverage the Potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Immediately Get Them Engaged and Productive!

In today's fast-paced business world, employee onboarding is more critical than ever before. It can make or break an organization's success in retaining new hires and ensuring their productivity. Onboarding is when new employees are introduced to the company's culture, values, and policies. It’s also the time when they’re trained in the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in their new role. This is why it’s important to have a smooth and efficient onboarding process.
 
With the help of AI-powered software, the onboarding process can be streamlined, personalized, and made more efficient.  Some of the benefits of implementing AI in this process include expediting document exchanging, allowing onboarding to happen 24/7, eliminating mistakes, streamlining administrative tasks, customizing the experience for each new hire, obtaining employee feedback, creating a more engaging onboarding experience for all your new hires, and so much more.

Therefore, updating your onboarding program can mean the difference between retaining top employees or watching them walk out the door after several months or even weeks. Companies who implement an effective onboarding program during the first three months of the new hire’s employment will experience a 50% greater retention; a 54% increase in productivity; and a 59% higher engagement than those who don’t according to the Aberdeen Group.

You have made your decision about whom to hire.  You’ve gotten them excited about their new job. You’re excited about what they can bring to your team. Now what?

Onboarding is important because it introduces the new hire to the company’s culture and expectations as well as your department’s goals and key priorities. In addition, onboarding gives the employee the vital training and information needed to succeed in their new position. The sooner your new hires start feeling part of your team or department, the sooner they will start contributing at full capacity. 

AI (Artificial Intelligence) provides you with simple, innovative ways to help new hires quickly learn the performance expectations of their new job; align their personal goals with those of the team; and integrate into your workplace culture. It can also create a personalized learning and onboarding journey for each of your hires as well as track their progress. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, each team member can receive customized training based on their skill level and role requirements. This personalized approach can help new hires feel more engaged, valued, and motivated from the very beginning.

It makes the new hire, as well as the manager, confident they made the right choice and confident they can succeed in their new job. Also, a new hire’s compatibility or culture fit will likely be determined during the onboarding process. This can save you, the manager, from a prolonged investment of your time and money in the wrong person.  It becomes a win-win for everyone.
