Introducing SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

In this lesson, we provide an overview of the key features of the SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding solution as well as explain how the Bike Company will benefit from using it to manage the onboarding process for new employees.

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding provides the tools for engaging with external and internal hires to quickly become productive members of the organization in their new job. It also supports the offboarding process of exiting employees by providing a seamless experience up to their last working day. When a new recruit is onboarded, the process involves collecting important information for employment that can also include important documents, such as tax forms, benefit enrollments, policy forms, or employment contracts.

Onboarding Process for New Hires

The onboarding process starts with initiating onboarding and ends with the new recruit getting converted into an employee (internal user). Onboarding could either be initiated manually or initiated through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS), such as SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting.

As Me Yong is currently busy with a job interview, he prepared some information for you, to go through.

High Level Onboarding Steps

Once the onboarding process for Viktor is initiated, the hiring manager and Viktor are assigned different onboarding tasks that need to be completed in a timely manner. In addition to the hiring manager and Viktor, other departments or teams can also be involved in the onboarding process to make sure that Viktor has everything he needs before his first day at work.

In this section, we get an overview of the steps in the onboarding process and see how a new hire completes the required data collection and signs the required documents. We also see how a hiring manager or HR representative completes the creation of the employee profile of the new hire in the Human Resource Information System (HRIS). In this example, the HRIS is SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.
