Best Human Resource Onboarding Software in 2024

June 28th 2024

What’s left in onboarding? Will send the new employees a few emails, set up a call with their manager on the day of joining, set up their payroll, and we are done!

Right? Wrong! 

Employee onboarding is far beyond just doing the bare minimum. It is about making the employee comfortable, helping them understand the processes and systems, and showing empathy so they are not overwhelmed on their first day. 

As an HR or new founder, you must help employees settle in without spending significant time in back-and-forth emails. 

The best idea is to automate your employee onboarding and empower the employees with a self-serve portal so they can take their time learning the systems. For that, you need a human resource onboarding software. 

Here’s a list of the best onboarding software for startups and SMEs.
