Assign onboarding tasks for new hires

Use onboarding automation to build each confirmed hire's plan from a role based template, assign dated tasks to People, managers, and IT, and keep your employee onboarding process consistent.

Useful for
People coordinators and operations teams who prepare onboarding, hiring managers who own a new hire's first weeks, and IT teams responsible for accounts and equipment before the start date.

Copied

When a new hire record is confirmed in [People system/HRIS], read the hire's role, start date, manager, and personal details, then select the matching onboarding template for that role from [onboarding template source, e.g. task tool templates, spreadsheet]. Create a new onboarding project for the hire in [project/task management tool], fill each task with the hire's details, assign the tasks to People, the hiring manager, and IT, and set each due date relative to the start date. Then notify each assignee via [team communication channel, e.g. Slack, Microsoft Teams, email] with a link to their assigned tasks.

Problem

People teams build each new hire's onboarding plan by hand, copying tasks from the role template, typing in the hire's name and start date, and working out due dates for People, the manager, and IT. The work is repetitive, differs depending on who does it, and tasks get missed or misdated when several hires start at once.

Solution

When a new hire record is confirmed in the People system, the automation reads the hire's role, start date, manager, and personal details, then selects the matching role based onboarding template. It creates a project for the hire in the task management tool, fills each task with the hire's details, assigns tasks to People, the manager, and IT, and sets due dates relative to the start date. It then notifies each assignee with a link to their tasks.
