The challenges of manual onboarding
Employee onboarding can be a lengthy and inefficient process when done manually, leading to the following challenges:
- Time-consuming and resource-heavy: Manual onboarding requires considerable time and effort from HR and IT teams. This diverts valuable resources from other important tasks, reducing the organization's overall productivity.
- Risk of human error: When done manually, onboarding processes are more prone to errors. Human errors, like missing a necessary document or missetting user permissions, can cause delays and create issues.
- Inconsistent processes: Without a standardized system, each new hire will undergo a different process, leading to inconsistencies. This can make it challenging to ensure that every employee receives the same level of support and app access.
- Difficulty tracking progress: Without a clear, automated system, tracking the status of each onboarding task can be difficult. This can lead to confusion and missed deadlines, delaying the completion of onboarding.
- Security risks due to delays: Delays in provisioning access or permissions for new hires can lead to security risks. Employees may not have the tools and access needed to perform their jobs securely, increasing the likelihood of errors or breaches.
