Enhanced Internal Hire Onboarding Process

Future managers can access internal hire details on the Onboarding dashboard prior to the start date, allowing them to perform tasks such as scheduling meetings, recommending people, and recommending links. This allows for preparation of the new hire to begin ahead of time and more efficient onboarding.

New Hire Experience for Onboarding on the Latest Home Page

New Hires can now view and complete the Onboarding process using the Latest Home Page. Migration of old tiles occurs when the new home page is enabled in Upgrade Center.

Enhanced Onboarding Dashboard (New)

New sort and filter options are available on the new Onboarding Dashboard, to more easily sort through a long list of new hires and identify the priority tasks.

Access to Learning Courses for New Hires

New hires can now access assigned courses before their start date. They can also view the courses they’ve completed by navigating to Learning from the module list.

Enhanced Onboarding Restart Process

You can now configure whether to retain the new hire information in Onboarding after the manual and auto-restart, or to update the information from the data that is passed from Recruiting.

Compliance Forms

Additional TD1 compliance forms for Canada are now available.

 

The USCIS Form I-9 has improved instructions to help new hires complete I-9 forms correctly.
