From Chaos to Control: How to Streamline Onboarding with One Smart App
Welcoming new colleagues should be a festive occasion. But in practice, onboarding often goes far from smoothly. HR uses Excel sheets, managers receive emails with tasks, and new employees struggle through a maze of information. The result? Uncertainty, frustration, and a false start that lingers.
Poor onboarding has consequences: lower engagement, faster attrition, and a negative impact on your employer brand. Fortunately, there's a better way. With AXI's onboarding app, built on the Microsoft Power Platform, you can create clarity, structure, and a warm welcome experience for every new employee.
Why Onboarding Still Goes Wrong Too Often
Onboarding isn’t just a checklist you can quickly tick off. It’s a crucial phase in the employee journey, where information, expectations, processes, and culture all come together. Yet in many organizations, onboarding is still fragmented:
-
HR creates checklists in Excel.
-
Team leaders receive instructions by email.
-
Tasks are shared in Teams chats but quickly forgotten.
-
There’s no central tracking or notification system.
The result? No one is sure whether everything has been completed. And the new hire feels lost in a maze of documents, accounts, and unclear expectations.
The solution: a single, central onboarding app, developed with the Power Platform
At AXI, we noticed how many of our customers struggled with these challenges. That's why we built a streamlined onboarding app with Microsoft Power Apps. The app is easy to use, quick to implement, and perfectly adaptable to your internal processes.
The onboarding app brings everything together in one central application. HR, managers, and employees each get a clear overview of their tasks, deadlines, and status. No more separate emails or spreadsheets, just a logical flow where nothing is forgotten.
Some possibilities:
Create new employees
Easily add new colleagues using a clear form.
Overview of all employees
See the status of each onboarding session at a glance: who has already started, where are the outstanding tasks, etc.
All outstanding tasks
A central task list for HR: handy for keeping track of everything.
My Open Tasks
Every manager or colleague sees their personal tasks, including deadlines and status.
The benefits: efficient, clear, and scalable
Ease of development and use
Thanks to the low-code nature of Power Apps, we can quickly respond to your needs. This eliminates the need for a lengthy development process.
Efficiency and clarity
Tasks are automatically assigned and tracked. Everyone immediately sees what they need to do and what has already been completed.
A strong start for new employees
New colleagues feel welcome, well-informed, and guided. This increases engagement and the chance of a successful start.
Control for HR and management
HR and team leaders can keep track of everything via dashboards and notifications. No more surprises or backlogs.
