Finding the best candidates and employees takes creativity, time, energy and money. Once you find these talented individuals, you want to keep them! Using an electronic onboarding system is a time-saver, helps make a great first impression with your new employee and creates a better new employee experience. ## Why should I onboard electronically? Making required documents and tasks electronic where possible is more efficient. An online onboarding tool captures your new employee demographic information, completes direct deposit, collects I-9 and tax forms will make that first impression of your team count. Add in your own branding and communications and voila -- your company is looking even more professional. Electronic onboarding allows you to correspond with new employees. Send out a “welcome to the team” message and have them acknowledge the company handbook, non-compete agreements or other needed information. Keep these benefits in mind: - Offers a better employee user experience - Extends your company brand - Helps ensure accurate record-keeping and up-to-date data - Reduces the need for storing paper files, taking up less office space - Is convenient for onboarding out-of-state employees - Streamlines payroll & benefits ## Make the first impression of your organization count Orientation and onboarding are key for new employees and for helping to bring them into the corporate culture. According to an [article on the SHRM blog](https://blog.shrm.org/blog/what-is-employee-onboarding-and-why-do-you-need-it?_ga=2.258037130.1053291739.1579897567-1617052333.1576177656), effective onboarding "should acclimate the new employee to ... become a contributing member of the staff in the briefest period possible," all the while helping them to become a productive member of your company's team. The onboarding process can sometimes take several months as you bring an employee into the organization.  BCN Services offers a full onboarding process and comprehensive online portals for both employers and employees that will keep your business humming.
