In today’s fast-paced business environment, an organisation’s first impressions of its new hires are crucial. A smooth and engaging onboarding process can significantly enhance a new employee’s experience, setting the tone for their journey with the company.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is revolutionising how companies onboard their employees by streamlining and simplifying the process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how RPA is making this transformation possible.
Step 1: Initial Contact with the Employee Onboarding Bot
The journey begins with the Employee Onboarding Bot. When a candidate accepts their offer, this bot triggers a sequence of welcome emails. These are not your standard, one-size-fits-all messages; they are personalised, engaging, and packed with all the necessary onboarding instructions. The bot ensures that new hires feel valued from day one and provides a clear roadmap of what to expect next.
Step 2: Document Submission and Verification
Submitting and verifying new hire documents can be tedious. With RPA, this stage is automated. The bot can collect required documents through secure channels, verify their authenticity, and even integrate them into the company’s HR system. This speeds up the process and minimises errors associated with manual data entry.
Step 3: Scheduling and Task Assignment
Next, the bot assists in scheduling the necessary first-day activities. Whether it’s an office tour, training sessions, or meet-and-greets, the bot can coordinate with various departments to ensure the new hire’s schedule is optimised for a comprehensive onboarding experience.
Step 4: Integration with HR Systems
Upon successful document verification, the Payroll Automation Bot takes over. It seamlessly uploads the new employee’s payroll information into the banking system for efficient salary processing. This ensures that the new team member’s compensation details are sorted out promptly, a crucial concern for most employees.
Step 5: Continuous Support with Ask HR Chatbot
Throughout the onboarding process, the new hire might have numerous questions. The Ask HR Chatbot is available round-the-clock to answer these queries. From company policies to benefit details, the chatbot provides instant, accurate responses, facilitating a better and more satisfying employee experience.
Step 6: Celebrating Milestones
Beyond the initial onboarding, the Service Anniversary Bot ensures employees are recognised on their work anniversaries. This bot reminds managers of upcoming anniversaries and sends congratulatory messages, fostering a culture of appreciation and recognition.
A Seamless Start with RPA
By integrating RPA bots into onboarding, companies can ensure that new hires are not bogged down with paperwork and procedures. Instead, they are free to engage with their team, immerse themselves in the company culture, and begin their new role with all the tools they need at their disposal.
