Onboarding User Guide

Onboarding can be a critical part of the new employee experience. Many studies have shown that a properly onboarded employee is far less likely to leave their new employer within the first year of being hired.

The UKG Ready Preboarding Portal and Onboarding Dashboard tab can be utilized to increase engagement and promote company culture for new hires from the time their offer letter is signed through their first year of employment and beyond.

The preboarding period, in this context, is defined as the time between the new employee signing their offer letter and walking through the door on their first day of work. It is very easy for a new employee in this period to lose the sense of engagement they felt all throughout the recruitment and hiring process leaving them vulnerable to counter offers from their current employer or offers from other companies with which they interviewed.

The preboarding portal allows a company to maintain a level of engagement by allowing a new employee to access information about their new employer’s culture and work environment as well as the opportunity to start their new employee paperwork (I-9, withholding forms, etc.).

In order to utilize the functionality, the new employee needs to be hired into the UKG Ready system as an employee and assigned an onboarding profile. At that point, they can be provided with a link and login credentials to the preboarding portal. No additional configuration is needed.
