Project scope

What is the main goal for this project?

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.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

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.

How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • What forms, documentation, and information should be collected during onboarding?
  • Are there any pain points in our current onboarding process?
  • What is our upfront/ongoing budget for an automation platform?
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
