Our company has a large employee turnover rate for sales roles, meaning that manually providing onboarding tasks with every new employee is an inefficient use of our company’s time. Instead of conducting onboarding in a face-to-face setting, we hope to transition to an online course that will introduce employees to their roles, and show them all of our start-up resources.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Examine the current onboarding process for new hires to identify what should be included in the onboarding process including forms, documentation and information.
• Establish a logical structure and order for the onboarding process, divided into “segments” or “modules” and their content.
• Research platforms or websites to automate the onboarding process.
• Create a segment specifically introducing new employees to our workplace culture and values.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following list of activities:

• Examined the current onboarding process to identify content that should be included.
• Established a structure for onboarding content .
• Researched platforms to automate the onboarding process.
• Created a report with a proposed structure for automated onboarding, and recommendations for which platform we should use.

Bonus steps would include:

• Created a segment that introduces employees to our workplace culture and values.

Final deliverables should include

• A report including all research, content, and recommendations..
• A 30-minute presentation detailing and explaining the contents of the report.
