❤️ Background
A SaaS startup company aimed to enhance its onboarding process to reflect its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Challenge
Needed an engaging, streamlined approach to integrate DEI principles into the onboarding experience.
No Code Approach for People Ops
Leveraged Slack workflows to introduce an async rollout of org wide “Work with Me Guide”, facilitating personal and professional understanding amongst team members.
Integrated automated forms for data collection and OfficeVibe software for ongoing staff engagement. Automated shared birthday calendar and cultural days.
Outcome
The new system fostered a more inclusive culture, with a 50% increase in positive feedback from new hires regarding the onboarding experience and improved team cohesion.
