Employee onboarding automation: A complete guide
Too busy onboarding and offboarding employees to focus on other business-critical processes? Whether you're in HR or IT, it's your job to make sure new employees have the tools they need to kickstart their careers-and to wrap up when they leave. But doing that (on top of your other priority work) can quickly become overwhelming if you're handling these processes manually.
Key Takeaways
- Formal onboarding and offboarding processes make life easier for everyone at work-especially IT teams.
Learn how automation with Zapier can help you streamline those processes.
- You can do things like tell your AI to provision a new hire's app accounts and send a welcome message to their team, or revoke a departing employee's access and kick off their exit interview.
- " questions on Slack so HR isn't trapped in an endless loop of the same five questions.
Customer onboarding automation applies the same playbook to new customers as it does to new employees.
- IT stops fielding those panicked "they start in five minutes and still don't have access" messages.
Managers stop forgetting to schedule the first 1:1 until week three.
- When a hire's status flips to "active" in BambooHR, HiBob, or Rippling, that one event should be enough to trigger everything else automatically-creating a Slack account, provisioning Google Workspace access, assigning software licenses, adding them to the right Jira projects, and dropping them into the appropriate teams and permission groups.
