How people are treated when they join your organisation can have a deep impact on their performance and how long they stay. It has been well researched that companies with a reputation for being in the ‘best companies to work for’ have excellent induction/onboarding programmes that engage staff, and help them feel more connected to the company’s strategy and culture.

Company intranet systems are often large and cumbersome with so much information, it is hard for new starters to find what they need. This engagement also requires a continuous, transparent communication with staff to ensure they feel up to date and fully included in the company’s progress towards its objectives. Apps can help this process by providing instant, easy access for all new staff to essential information including:

• Company introductions
• Facility familiarisation
• Fire/Safety procedures
• Staff procedures
• Policy documentation
• Company values and expectations
