A new hire, and a scramble across three teams

Each new hire kicked off a flurry of emails.

HR sent paperwork, IT set up accounts, payroll added the record, and someone had to chase all of it. Steps were missed, access was late, and new hires often spent their first day waiting instead of working.

  • Onboarding ran on email and checklists.
  • HR, IT and payroll worked in parallel, uncoordinated.
  • Steps were missed and access ran late.
  • New hires waited on day one.

One process across HR, IT and payroll

We automated onboarding as a single process.

When a hire is confirmed in the HR system, the automation triggers every task in parallel, accounts and access in IT, the payroll record, the welcome and paperwork, and tracks each one to done, escalating anything that runs late.

  • Triggered the moment a hire is confirmed.
  • Fires HR, IT and payroll tasks in parallel.
  • Tracks each task to completion.
  • Escalates anything that runs late.

Mapped the checklist, then automated it

We mapped the full onboarding checklist across the three teams, connected the HR system, IT provisioning and payroll, and ran the process on real hires to confirm nothing slipped.

Approvals for access still sit with the right owners, and every step is logged.

The process went live in five weeks.

Ready on day one, far less chasing

New hires now arrive to working accounts, access and payroll already set up, because every step fires automatically and is tracked to done.

HR spends far less time chasing other teams, nothing slips through, and the first day is spent working rather than waiting.
