Business Use Case: Automating Employee Onboarding and Offboarding for a Smoother Transition and Happier Workforce



Introduction

Manual onboarding and offboarding processes are time-consuming, prone to errors, and leave a poor first and last impression on your employees. These processes burden HR teams and delay new hires from becoming productive members of the team. This use case demonstrates how Imaratek can automate your onboarding and offboarding processes, freeing up valuable time for HR and other teams while creating a smoother and more positive experience for your employees.

The Scenario

One of our customers, who is a fast-growing service company, experienced rapid employee turnover. Their current onboarding process was manual and paper-based, requiring numerous forms, login setups, and software installations for each new hire. Offboarding is equally cumbersome, involving account deactivation, equipment collection, and manual notifications. This leads to:

  • Inefficient and time-consuming HR processes: HR spends a significant amount of time managing paperwork and logistics.
  • Delayed new hire productivity: New hires spend valuable time waiting for access to necessary systems and information.
  • Frustration and confusion for new hires: Complex onboarding procedures can lead to confusion and discouragement.
  • Security risks during offboarding: Failure to properly deprovision accounts increases the risk of data breaches.

Solution:

Imaratek offers a comprehensive solution to automate both onboarding and offboarding processes. Here's how it works:

  • Automated Onboarding:
    • New hires receive a personalized welcome email with login credentials and company information.
    • Automated workflows configure user accounts across various systems (e.g., ERP, CRM, email, project management tools).
    • Pre-loaded learning modules and training materials onboard new hires quickly and efficiently.
    • Automated equipment reservation and provisioning ensures new hires have everything they need to start working.
  • Streamlined Offboarding:
    • Automated workflows automatically disable access to company systems upon employee departure.
    • Automated email notifications inform relevant teams about employee departure.
    • Inventory management software helps track and collect company equipment.
    • Exit surveys are automatically sent to collect valuable feedback.
