Why is brilliant employee onboarding so important?
Employee onboarding done brilliantly is vital because it shapes the very first, and often lasting, impression new hires have of your organisation.
For medium and large businesses, where complexity is higher and roles are critical to operational performance, a smooth and engaging onboarding journey helps people feel confident, connected and supported from day one.
When underpinned by the right technology, onboarding becomes more than a checklist: it personalises the experience, reduces admin for HR and managers, accelerates productivity, and sets the tone for long-term engagement.
In short, a great onboarding experience ensures new employees start with clarity and momentum, rather than confusion and friction—driving stronger retention and helping your teams do their best work from the very beginning.
