Best Employee Onboarding Software For Small Businesses

The best employee onboarding software for small businesses earns its place on the week the usual person is unavailable.

In a small business onboarding lives in somebody’s head. They know the accounts to create, the forms to send, the induction to run and the checks to make. It works well right up until they are on leave when a new starter arrives.

What happens then is predictable. Half the steps happen, the required statements are missed because nobody knew they were required, and it surfaces months later.

A system holds the sequence instead of a person. That is the whole value at this size. Not automation, but the fact that the steps exist somewhere other than in one person’s memory.

The Fair Work Ombudsman sets out what must be issued and recorded. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
