Employee Onboarding Simplified using Workato

The client is one of the largest insurance brokerages and consulting firms in the US. With 100+ years market experience and a huge amount of industry demand the company required hiring new personnel on a regular basis. However, the multitude of departments supplemented by widespread locations across different cities made the onboarding process tedious and cumbersome.

Challenge

As mentioned above, the organization required hiring new employees for its vast infrastructure across the United States, UK and other countries and this meant a lot of manual effort and time being spent on on-boarding each employee. Also, a lot of time was wasted in coordinating with the IT department for creating accounts for and giving access rights to different business applications like Active Directory, Salesforce, Office 365, ERP, etc. based on individual roles and policies.

This made the process quite error-prone and disjointed, causing a huge loss in productivity. In fact, lack of proper communication caused delays in the procurement of laptops/systems for a new hire, leading to shipment delays, and eventually loss of work hours. Apart from the workforce productivity loss, the company also had to cope-up with a high employee attrition rate due to afore-mentioned reasons.

Solution

The company was quick to recognize the need of a third-party support to make its employees' onboarding process smoother and faster. Despite several available vendors in the market, Periscope Technologies was selected based on their vast experience in process automation and high-quality engineering. We at Periscope soon strategized a client specific solution in the form of an iPaas Solution ‘Workato’ to streamline the unsystematic onboarding process. The entire onboarding process was automated, starting from sending offer letters to providing training and orientation to each new hire.

Periscope was thus able to reinvent and repivot the existing manual onboarding process to create a new experience that was error-free and faster, ensured compliance with changing regulations, and finally enabled new hires to immediately commence with their work.
