What is employee onboarding software?

Onboarding software automates the process of bringing new hires into your company. Factorial's onboarding handles document collection, task assignments, welcome communications, and compliance checks—so new employees hit the ground running.

Why do small businesses need onboarding software?

Bad onboarding leads to early turnover. Studies show 20% of turnover happens in the first 45 days. Good onboarding software ensures consistency, saves time, and creates positive first impressions—critical when every hire counts.

What onboarding features does Factorial include?

Factorial's onboarding includes customisable task templates, document collection with e-signatures, automated welcome emails, IT equipment provisioning checklists, training assignments, and progress tracking for managers.

Can we customise the onboarding workflow?

Absolutely. Factorial lets you create different onboarding templates for different roles, departments, or locations. Build workflows that match how your business actually operates.

Does onboarding integrate with other Factorial features?

Yes. Onboarding connects seamlessly with Factorial's employee directory, document management, time tracking, and training modules. New hire data flows automatically—no duplicate entry required.
