Employee onboarding software is a digital tool or platform aimed at optimizing and automating the process of integrating a new employee into a company. It helps acquaint new hires with the organization's culture, policies, and procedures, ensuring they understand what is expected of them. The main objectives of this software are to make new employees feel welcome, boost their productivity and performance quickly, and support a smooth transition into their new roles within the company.
The primary forms of employee onboarding software are cloud-based and on-premises. Cloud-based software, hosted on remote servers, is accessible over the internet, providing scalability, flexibility, and accessibility from any location with internet connectivity. This type is popular among both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. On-premises software, on the other hand, is installed and operated from a company's own servers and infrastructure, giving the organization full control over its data and security. These software systems are utilized across various sectors including banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), information technology (IT) and telecommunications, government, energy and utilities, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and consumer goods, transportation, logistics, and more.
