HR onboarding
Streamline the employee onboarding process
Get people up and running faster with an accelerated employee onboarding process
As every employee is onboarded, their progress is marked by the processing of sensitive documents — from W-2s to passport copies — that have to be manually sifted through and organized. These records are typically dispersed across multiple systems and sometimes stored as paper documents in physical rooms, increasing room for error. For the new hire themselves, the onboarding experience is often frustrating as they are forced to navigate a maze of documents sent out as attachments or links in emails.
With Box, you can create simple, repeatable processes to streamline your onboarding process. That means HR teams can shorten the onboarding cycle, reduce errors, increase security and deliver a great new hire experience from beginning to end.

"We're always looking to make the technology of onboarding people easy [...] A lot of the Box interaction is invisible to them. But behind the scenes, there's plumbing that puts it together."
