What are the benefits of moving your induction process to an online programme?

Creating an effective induction process for new employees is a constant challenge to HR teams, line managers and anyone else involved in the process. In this article we will consider some of the reasons why, by moving induction to an online programme, a business can streamline the process, dramatically improving effectiveness and efficiencies for all involved. Whilst the true value of online induction may vary from one business to the next, here are a number of benefits that will probably touch every organisation in one way or another:

Accessibility – Online induction programmes can be accessed anytime and anywhere, offering convenience and flexibility for new starters to complete their induction at their own pace.

Cost efficiency – Online induction programmes eliminate the need for printed materials, physical training spaces, travel expenses and non-productive staff time, reducing costs for the organisation.

Consistency – Online induction programmes ensure that all new starters receive the same information, materials and training, leading to consistent on-boarding and reducing the risk of misinformation or gaps in knowledge.

Time-efficient – Online induction programmes can be completed more quickly than traditional in-person inductions, allowing new employees to progress into their roles sooner.

Engagement – Online induction programmes can be made interactive through quizzes, videos, and simulations, increasing engagement and retention of information.

Scalability – Online induction programmes can easily be scaled to accommodate a large number of new starters, making it ideal for organisations with high turnover rates or those undergoing rapid growth.

Tracking – Online induction programmes allow organisations to track employee progress and completion rates, providing valuable data for assessing the effectiveness of the induction process and overcoming possible non-compliance issues.

Remote-friendly – Online induction programmes are well-suited for remote employees or those working in different locations, as they can complete their induction from anywhere with an internet connection.

At eAlliance, we work with organisations of all sizes and sectors to transform induction processes into engaging, bespoke online programmes. We convert existing information and materials such as policy documents and employee guidelines, videos and imagery, into a digital format. These are then used to create an intuitive, role specific modular programme of induction activities. A range of interactive management tools enable those with relevant responsibility to quickly track the progress of inductees, set activity completion timescales and sign these off once they are achieved. We also combine the very latest online compliance and workplace skills courses into your modules to meet both general and role specific training requirements.

Converting your existing employee induction process to an online programme is quick and easy and inexpensive.
