Your solution is here!

Factor Apps: Onboarding, built on the Microsoft Power Platform, handles the onboarding experience for new staff, accessible from any device, anywhere. Hosted in your Microsoft 365 tenancy, it integrates seamlessly into your existing tools, making the onboarding process part of the flow of work.

Secure

The app provides easy-to-use functionality and integrated security, utilizing Azure Identity Management for single sign-in. Personal and sensitive data are securely managed and accessible only to relevant parties.

Centralised

All onboarding information and tasks are accessed in one centralised app. Personal details, key documents, and progress tracking are updated in real-time, ensuring a cohesive and organized onboarding experience.

Progress tracking

New staff receive clear onboarding tasks at a manageable pace, reducing overwhelm. Both administrators and employees can track progress with a handy progress wheel, ensuring everyone stays on the same page.

Automated

Onboarding tasks that used to require manual organisation are now automated. This includes notifying IT for equipment setup or Finance for processing superannuation information. Automated reminders prevent bottlenecks and keep the process moving smoothly.

Connected

Welcome new staff with an automated email, customised to your school's branding. The welcome email invites them to start the onboarding process, providing contact information for support. Organisational structure and team profiles are also available in the onboarding portal, helping new hires get to know their colleagues.

Signed. Sealed. Delivered.

  • HR Manager Inputs Initial Data: Commence the ‘letter of offer’ sequence.
  • Contract and Offer: Sent for signature, with DocuSign integration available.
  • Automated Notifications: New hire receives next steps once the Microsoft 365 user account is created.

Gather critical information quickly

Collect important personal and employment information from your new staff, including personal data, police checks, tax declarations, and superannuation details. New hires can upload documents directly to the portal.

Accelerate the "Getting to Know" stage

On day one, new starters access their induction portal, complete with personal data, elective information (hobbies, favorite snacks, etc.), and team profiles.

Tick off the tasks

HR managers assign onboarding tasks via the Model Driven App. Tasks populate the starter’s induction portal, updating progress trackers as they complete each step.

Onboarding, the ultimate Microsoft-based solution

Onboarding is a powerful app that leverages the Microsoft Power Platform to create a seamless and secure onboarding experience for everyone involved.

From the moment you say yes to your new hire, to their first day on the job, Onboarding helps you keep track of all the tasks and information you need to welcome them to your team and ensure a fast start on Day 1.
