Supercharging Employee Onboarding with UKG Ready: Why First Impressions Matter!

The first few days of a new job can be overwhelming for anyone. From learning the ropes to integrating into the company culture, there’s a lot to take in. That’s why effective onboarding is so essential. A well-structured onboarding process not only sets new hires up for success but also leads to higher engagement and productivity within your workforce. Let us introduce UKG Ready’s Onboarding features. 

The Power of Pre-boarding

Before an employee even steps foot in the office, these features are there to support them. This remarkable system offers personalized pre-boarding features that allow new hires to familiarize themselves with the company and their role. By providing access to resources such as company policies, training materials, and introductions to their team, UKG Ready ensures that new hires feel prepared and confident from day one.

Driving Engagement from Day One

This system goes beyond just providing resources; it actively fosters engagement. Through intuitive onboarding checklists, new hires know exactly what tasks they need to complete and when, reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of accomplishment. This clear roadmap provides a structured approach that helps employees quickly adapt to their new environment and increases their dedication and commitment to their roles.

Streamlining the Onboarding Experience

But it doesn’t just benefit the new hires; it’s also a boon for managers and mentors. With built-in communication tools, managers can easily stay in touch with new hires, answering questions, giving feedback, and providing encouragement. Moreover, progress tracking tools enable managers to monitor the new hire’s onboarding journey, ensuring that no crucial steps are missed1.

The Impact of Effective Onboarding

So, why invest in a smooth onboarding process? Simply put, it’s good for business. Effective onboarding leads to higher retention rates as employees who experience a structured onboarding program are 58% more likely to stay with the organization after three years. It also boosts productivity, with well-on boarded employees demonstrating a significant increase in performance levels.  Furthermore, a successful onboarding experience can help to foster strong relationships between managers and employees, which is essential for creating an engaged workforce.

With its unique features and user-friendly interface, combined with the support of APlus Payroll, UKG Ready’s Onboarding offers an exceptional solution to supercharge your onboarding process and ensure your new hires feel welcomed, prepared, and valued from their very first day.
