How onboarding runs, todayBefore
- A PDF checklist nobody opens past page two
- IT, people, and the hiring manager in three email threads
- The new hire asks "who's my buddy?", nobody knows
- Compliance reads "completed" with no proof anyone opened them
- Your first manager check-in is week three because calendars never aligned
Time to productive contribution8–12 weeks

From offer accepted to productive, with receipts.
HR runs playbooks and cohorts on a launch board. New hires work through five clear stages on My Onboarding, with tasks, reads, pulse checks, and a 90-day plan in one place.
Enterprise playbooks
Draft, publish, and duplicate onboarding playbooks by role, site, or seniority. Assign to one starter or a whole cohort; tasks carry launch stages and due offsets.
Launch board and cohorts
See every starter on a board: plan progress, day count, launch stage, and open SLA breaches. Filter by cohort month so HR knows where each class actually is.
Five-stage employee journey
My Onboarding groups work into Pre-board, Compliance, IT Setup, Manager Plan, and Week 1, with a stepper, progress per stage, and locked future stages until prior work is done.
My Onboarding for new hires
Employees see today's tasks, their week timeline, required reads, blockers, onboarding circle, and week-one pulse, plus a task drawer for details and uploads.
Pre-boarding portal
Candidates complete paperwork, uploads, and offer steps via a secure link before day one. Progress rolls into the same record when they become employees.
Policies and required reads
Track who completed mandatory reads and document tasks, with timestamps exportable when auditors ask.
Manager plan and 90-day milestones
30/60/90 goals surface on My Onboarding with manager attribution, so ramp expectations are visible from day one.
Ramp visibility and pulse
HR sees completion, sentiment, and breach signals on the launch board; employees submit week-one pulse without leaving their onboarding page.
