6capabilities
on one employee record

  • Onboarding Checklists

    Pre-built checklists for IT, HR, manager, and team tasks. Customise per role, department, or location. Track completion in real-time.

  • Pre-start Portal

    New starters complete their profile, upload documents, and sign policies before day one. Reduces first-day admin to zero.

  • Automated Reminders

    HR, IT, and managers get reminders for their onboarding tasks. Escalation alerts if tasks are overdue. Nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Induction Scheduling

    Schedule induction sessions, training, and introduction meetings as part of the onboarding workflow. Calendar invites sent automatically.

  • Onboarding Analytics

    Track completion rates, time-to-productivity, and identify bottlenecks. See which departments onboard fastest and why.

  • Template Library

    Create onboarding templates for different roles. Developer onboarding differs from sales onboarding, and CubeHR handles both.

Why it matters

Why businesses pick CubeHR for onboarding

  1. Consistent new starter experience

    Every new employee gets the same structured onboarding regardless of which manager they report to. No more lottery on first-day quality.

  2. Day-one productivity

    IT equipment, system access, and introductions are completed before the employee arrives. They're productive from morning one.

  3. Reduce early-stage turnover

    Structured onboarding improves new starter retention. Employees who feel welcomed and supported are significantly less likely to leave in their first 90 days.

In practice

What this actually looks like

Illustrative situations onboarding is built for. They are examples rather than customer case studies.

  • Scaling a fast-growing startup

    The problem

    A tech startup was hiring 5 people per month but had no onboarding process. New starters often waited days for laptop setup and system access.

    The outcome

    CubeHR's onboarding checklists ensured IT received equipment requests 2 weeks before start date. New starters had everything ready on day one. Time-to-productivity dropped from 5 days to 1.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can new starters access CubeHR before their start date?

Yes. The pre-start portal gives new starters a limited view to complete their profile, upload documents, and sign policies. Full access is activated on their start date.

Can we customise the onboarding checklist?

Yes. Create different templates for different roles, departments, or locations. A warehouse operative's onboarding looks very different from a senior manager's, and CubeHR handles both.

What happens if an onboarding task is overdue?

Escalation alerts notify the responsible person and their manager. You can set escalation chains: if IT hasn't set up the laptop by day -3, the IT manager is automatically notified.
