Rich Atlas features and functionalities can improve performance and satisfaction on a daily basis and importantly, configuration doesn't need to be complicated.
Let's look into the new starter onboarding process as it's a crucial step in setting your new team member up for great performance.
Before Atlas
New starters regularly feel confused and isolated, especially in the remote working world. The result can be low employee satisfaction and high turnover because the new employee feels disconnected from the organisation's culture.
A lack of onboarding processes also adds to your overheads in terms of new starters consuming others' time in needing questions answered, and it taking longer for them to be able to perform at their best.
The Atlas advantage
With Atlas you're able to provide a simple, signposted onboarding experience with information, tools and links to important content and areas in one place. You can connect your new employees to people and culture via an efficient engaging experience, one that often leads to improved satisfaction and lower staff turnover.
How Atlas helps onboarding
Some great Atlas features to help you
Let's list a few features that you can use to build your onboarding experience. You might want to create a 'New Starter' workspace, dedicated to housing onboarding information for new employees.
Here's an example of ClearPeople's dedicated workspace for new employees:
This is a centralised point from which an employee can access useful resources, from training to information on tools and templates to use.
Atlas not only provides workspaces and an easy way to navigate and search them, but it also has a number of features or tools that enrich the way information is presented and consumed.
Hoverpoint
Hoverpoint is a great way to provide a visual overview of a process, different departments or important areas in your building.
Use a nice clear image and have pop-ups (Hoverpoints) for the different actions or locations you would like to highlight.
In Focus webparts
Use the different Atlas in Focus webparts to automatically pull content into the correct location on your onboarding page. You can filter content using the different filter configurations.
People
Use the Microsoft People webpart to help your new starter get to know the team. You can easily filter out individuals depending on which team you would like to present, which means your new colleague can immediately put a face to a name and understand who they're working with.
Quick links
Use quick links to point your new colleague to important tools or content.
Mandatory Reads
You want all your new starters to familiarise themselves with some of your policies or important guidance documents. The Mandatory Reads webpart helps you to make sure the content is presented and it allows you to follow up on progress. You can include documents, pages, and even Hoverpoints (embedded within pages) as Mandatory Reads.
FAQs
What is more helpful to a new joiner than their main queries being answered in advance? Use the FAQs webpart to provide immediate answers to common queries
Also consider: Key Contacts, Useful links, Spotlights, External insights ... among other tools.
These are just a few examples of how you could make use of standard features and functionality to help your new starters to onboard in an efficient and effective way.
