For decades, onboarding processes have looked like this: New employees are assigned mentors or buddies who show the newcomers the work processes and help them get started. Don’t get us wrong: It’s important for people to collaborate and socialize with each other. We’re just convinced that staff-intensive onboarding doesn’t make sense in all areas. In industries with high turnover, onboarding can consume an enormous amount of resources. New employees have to be familiarized with the same work steps and values over and over again. We believe that in the 21st century, things can be done differently – with digital onboarding, as offered by our e-learning format skillstart.

skillstart replaces lengthy onboarding processes with interactive task packages that new employees can complete at a pace that is comfortable for them. They acquire knowledge and skills digitally and then put them into practice in the workplace. Mentors or buddies are only needed for more complex tasks and are thus relieved. Digital onboarding not only saves time and money, it also takes pressure off new employees. Playfully and without stress, skills are trained that are essential for business success.

But that’s not all: digital onboarding can be combined with other skillbest e-learning formats. Two examples: With our digital corporate management skilltour, you give employees an overview of your company in the course of onboarding. Our interactive audio learning skillvoice prepares newcomers for conversations or telephone calls in a targeted way before they actually start.
