Company onboarding

When onboarding is left to improvisation, the cost is rarely dramatic: it's the slow drip of a new colleague hesitating before every small decision, redoing work because expectations were never made explicit, and quietly wondering whether they made the right move. Reearch from Gallup has found that osnly about one in ten employees strongly agree their organisation does a good job of onboarding, which tells you how widely this is a struggle rather than a local failing.

Part of why it's hard is that the people running onboarding are usually the busiest people on the team, fitting it around their real job, working from memory rather than a plan. Knowledge that's obvious to someone who's been around for years is invisible to them precisely because it's obvious. This bites hardest in fast-moving, multi-site, or frontline teams, where a new starter may be physically far from anyone who could answer a quick question.

None of this requires a heavy program to fix. A clear, consistent first week (who's who, what the tools are for, where to turn) is something a well-built training moves reliably, and it's the foundation everything else on the job is built on.

All templates on Eli are one-to-two-week training programs (for training, awareness, engagement, and more) that ask each participant for only a few minutes a day. These programs are built around three types of content: questions, memos, and actions. Questions invite employees to share their point of view on a subject, either to poll them anonymously or to get them to reconsider a habit they might have. Memos are small knowledge nuggets that take a few seconds to read, can sometimes include an infographic or an educational video, and always come with a quiz. Actions are concrete steps employees can apply in their day, either with their team or individually in the field.

Together, these three types of content create an efficient, complete training cycle in which employees question, learn, and practice, all within a single training sprint, and in record time.

Our templates give you an excellent starting point, but using them raw will only get you about 60% of the result you're aiming for. To really move the needle across your teams, you'll need to fine-tune them to your specific needs, your company culture, your internal policies, and more.

That's exactly what our AI agent was built for. On Eli, you can describe what you need, add any documents it requires, and our agent handles the rest.
