The second objective seeks to decrease the time it takes to complete pre-onboarding tasks, aiming for a 25% reduction. The strategies to accomplish this include implementing an interactive checklist for new hires, automating paperwork using digital forms and signatures as well as streamlining the process by eliminating redundant steps.
As a third objective, the aim is to elevate the satisfaction rate among new hires post pre-onboarding to 90%. This objective will be met by regularly checking-in with recent hires, modifying the onboarding process based on their feedback, and introducing a mentorship program.
The overall endeavour is to create a more streamlined, efficient and satisfying experience for new hires during their pre-onboarding phase. This OKR foresees the use of new technology and automation along with personal follow-ups and mentorship programs to increase new hire satisfaction and efficiency.
