NYSE: TEN Fortune 300 25,000 employees worldwide $7.9B+ in annual revenue 100+ locations globally Serving over 100 countries Our Brands Where We Were New Hires: Sitting in the HR conference room for 3-4 hours, reviewing policies and manually completing forms Seldom did the new hires show up with everything required to hit the ground running Forgot proper identification for the I-9, forgot to bring in bank information for the direct deposit form, etc. Comments on new hire surveys reflected a broken process and a general dissatisfaction with our onboarding procedures. 10
Where We Were Managers: Quite often were not ready for the new hire IT entitlements were rarely executed in a timely fashion No computer, no phone, no e-mail when new hire arrived Workspaces were not cleaned, prepared and ready for use, if available at all. Not aware that they were responsible for managing these processes. Lowest marks received on the new hire survey Not ready for me when I arrived! Where We Were Human Resources: All new hire paperwork was actually paper (manual processes) Using checklists to make sure we had everything we needed from the new hire Payroll information had to be faxed to the payroll data entry administrator Providing the new hire with paper copies of all policies and procedures, some up to 30 pages in length Had to remember to send the new hires additional information after their start date (i.e. online payroll information, new hire survey, training requirements) Why Electronic Onboarding? Needed a global solution that could support several different languages Needed a user-friendly system, especially for our manufacturing locations Needed the ability to eliminate as many manual processes as possible Needed a system that allowed for continuous improvements 11
