Communication that drives employee engagement

Once a new hire has received a job offer, there can sometimes be a fallow period, with little to no communication from HR – new starters can feel disengaged, or worried about the decision they’ve made.

With Ciphr’s automated employee onboarding software, you can keep in touch with new hires every step of the way. From exchanging important documentation to letting them know about key information, such as their starting date or equipment updates, employees always feel reassured and welcomed.

“Ciphr’s onboarding feature set it apart; I liked that new starters could access the platform before they became an employee – that they could sign their contract electronically, and view information about the company such as a welcome video from the CEO. These users can then easily be converted into a ‘normal’ Ciphr HR user and gain access to the full system on their first day.”
