TL;DR

Introduction

Ever felt the chaos of a new hire's first week? Manuals everywhere, training modules from the past decade, and a storm of questions. Current onboarding processes often drown new employees in scattered information and lengthy sessions. Over 60% of organizations claim their onboarding processes are outdated and inefficient (Harvard Business Review). With 40% of employees leaving within the first year due to poor onboarding experiences (source: Gallup), isn't it clear that a change is long overdue? Think about the hours spent introducing internal tools and policies. Now, imagine turning that time into minutes. Interactive guides can be that revolution.

The problem

Wasted time, overwhelmed employees.

Traditional onboarding methods involve tedious paper trails, outdated videos, and disconnected sessions. They not only overwhelm new employees but also result in significant productivity losses for the entire organization.

And here are the main challenges: consistency in training, time constraints, and ensuring all information is absorbed and understood.

To make it simple, let's take an example. Imagine you're a new hire. Your desk is loaded with binders, your inbox is overflowing with introductory emails, and you have a week's worth of seminars.

How much of this will you genuinely absorb? Without a doubt, disjointed onboarding results in disengaged employees.

The solution

Your answer is interactive guides.

Interactive product guides centralize and streamline the onboarding process. From introducing company processes to training on software tools, everything can be turned into step-by-step interactive guides. Employees can learn at their pace, ensuring they genuinely understand and can apply the knowledge.
