What this coversHidePeak onboarding is a throughput problem. The process must absorb a large batch quickly and still produce accurate records, correct access and people who know what to do on their first shift.
- Batch onboarding with document capture at scale
- Same-day activation across shift, system access and payroll
- Safety induction before floor access, recorded per person
- Role-specific training compressed but not skipped
- Buddy assignment on the first shift
- Temporary, agency and permanent joiners handled distinctly
- Performance observed and recorded during the temporary period
- Conversion criteria communicated at joining
Communicating conversion criteria at joining changes behaviour across the whole peak workforce, and costs one sentence in the induction.
The general method — what onboarding and probation covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the employee onboarding and induction page. What is above is the part that differs for e-commerce and d2c.
