How To

Save Money on Employee Onboarding with Automation

Use Cases

Automating employee onboarding can boost retention by up to 50% and create a positive experience for new hires, especially remote workers. Remote employees are particularly vulnerable to burnout, and thorough onboarding can greatly enhance their satisfaction. Studies have indicated that remote employees who undergo a comprehensive onboarding process report an 18% rise in job satisfaction. 

This can be achieved by streamlining the workforce identity process and alleviating manual tasks for HR and IT teams. The HR and IT teams often become overwhelmed with manual tasks, leaving little time to focus on the well-being and motivation of new hires during onboarding.

By adopting automation, organizations can reduce this burden and provide a comprehensive onboarding experience that promotes a positive and supportive environment for new hires, thus increasing productivity.

The Hidden Cost of Manual Onboarding

Your IT team already has a large backlog of tickets, including both complex and straightforward issues. On average, a mid-sized company with around 500 employees generates between 25 and 45 IT tickets daily.

While IT deals with a lot of complex tickets, sometimes it misses out on the simpler ones, leading to delays in access requests and password changes for the newly hired employee. This not only creates frustration for the newly hired employees but can also cost organizations up to $150,000 annually.

Manual provisioning will cost you time and effort on resources that no longer meet the requirements. Hire2Retire can automate access provisioning and solve these challenges for you

What an Automated Onboarding Process Should Include: 

Account and UPN Creation

User access provisioning

IT service requests(resource assignment)

In some industries, like restaurants and construction, temporary workers are needed because of seasonal demands. This requires a different approach to managing the identities of full-time employees and temporary staff. 

Let’s see the key criteria for managing both full-time employees and temporary workers: 

Full-Time Employees:

Account creation, Email forwarding, and OneDrive sharing 

Automatically added to security groups and distribution lists 

RBAC and ABAC implemented 

Audit and reporting tracking 

Temporary Workers:

Account creation, email forwarding, and OneDrive sharing 

Temporary access pass

Automatic provisioning and deprovisioning 

Audit and report tracking 

Ways To Calculate Onboarding Automation Metrics 

1. Time to Provision: How quickly are new hires receiving access to cloud applications?

2. Access Error Rate: Number of access misconfigurations caught post-onboarding. 

3. New Hire Satisfaction: Use post-onboarding surveys to track engagement and satisfaction levels. 

4. Time to Productivity: How soon can a new hire start contributing to their team?
