Successfully onboarding your new employees: methods, tools and key partners

Onboarding a new employee is much more than just an administrative formality. It's a strategic step in building a lasting, effective and engaging working relationship. At a time when the Digital Employee Experience (DEX) is becoming a key performance driver, onboarding deserves special attention. How can you offer your new recruits a smooth, motivating and results-oriented induction process? Which tools should be used to help them get to grips with business processes and software? And above all, which partners should be integrated into your HR ecosystem to optimize the entire onboarding cycle, from recruitment to operationalization? Here's a look at some best practices.

1. Why onboarding is a strategic issue for companies

Successful onboarding has a direct impact on :

  • Employee commitment: a positive first impression fosters motivation and loyalty.
  • Productivity: a well-integrated employee is more quickly operational.
  • Employer brand: seamless onboarding strengthens the company's image among talented employees.

According to a Glassdoor study, a good onboarding process can improve employee retention by 82% and productivity by over 70%. Yet many organizations still underestimate this key phase.

2. Key stages in effective onboarding

Structured onboarding is based on several fundamental steps:

Before arrival :

  • Prepare access, equipment and administrative documents.
  • Share a digital welcome pack: presentation of the team, tools and corporate culture.

D-Day:

  • Organize a warm welcome, even from a distance (videoconferencing, personalized message...).
  • Provide a mentor or referent.

The first few weeks :

  • Define a progressive integration process (meetings, training, feedback).
  • Help people get to grips with the digital tools they use on a daily basis.

3. Digital: an essential ally in onboarding

Onboarding is now a hybrid process: often carried out remotely, it requires digital solutions capable of guiding, training and engaging new recruits.

At Knowmore, we are convinced that the Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) is a powerful lever for smooth integration. Thanks to our solutions, every employee can :
