Boost Employee Engagement with Onboarding

What is onboarding?

Onboarding is the process in which new employees are helped to make a good start within an organization. It includes guidance, information provision, introduction to the culture and building relationships. A strong onboarding program ensures that new colleagues feel welcome, confident and productive quickly and know what is expected of them.

Why is good onboarding important?

A bad start can have lasting effects. New employees who receive insufficient guidance, don’t know what is expected of them or don’t feel connected to the team have a harder time finding their place. This leads to lower productivity, frustration or early departure. Good onboarding prevents this and ensures faster deployability and higher engagement.

Improving onboarding

Improving onboarding starts by listening to new employees. Measure at fixed intervals how they experience their start, ask about concrete pain points and involve managers and buddies in the outcomes. Small adjustments, such as clearer expectations, better guidance or a stronger first workday, often have an immediate effect on how quickly someone settles in.

Can you measure onboarding?

Yes, onboarding can be measured well through targeted questionnaires at strategic moments. With Deepler’s module, you not only measure whether the start goes well, but also why and on which topics there are issues. Think of role clarity, guidance, access to information and alignment with culture. This gives you concrete insights to improve your onboarding program.

“Recently, I used Deepler to arrive at an EVP. Great what they were able to achieve in a short time! In a period of two weeks, we collected information and were able to continue with our AMC plan. In any other situation, it takes weeks, if not months, to get this done. Contact is good, friendly and constructive. Very nice club to work with.”

“Ideal tool and company to gain more and better insight into the organization and employees as an organization! And especially with speed! For us, it was also the need to get tools for the topics of retention, to prevent future absenteeism or turnover. I also have experience with other parties and I sincerely value the speed of switching, follow-up and personal contact with Deepler. Absolutely recommended.”

“Deepler is a great tool for continuously collecting feedback from our employees. This input is then centrally available for us as management, but also for managers who benefit from it.”

“What makes Deepler special is that it doesn’t get stuck in numbers. It helps you immediately understand where it is and what teams need. For us, this ensured that employees themselves came up with areas for improvement and took responsibility for them. The insights were sharp and useful, but most importantly: the conversation that started afterwards made the difference. Thanks to Deepler, we didn’t get a paper plan, but change that was supported by the people themselves.”

By better understanding what is going on in the workplace and what people offer as solutions for improvements, we can make more effective decisions. The platform helps us to gain real-time insight and to respond directly to it via the tool.”
