Problem

New hire onboarding is fragmented across HR portals, email threads, buddy programmes, and manager introductions. New employees spend their first two weeks navigating complexity rather than contributing — and HR spends disproportionate time answering the same questions repeatedly.

Solution

A conversational AI assistant embedded in the company's existing collaboration platform (Teams or Slack). The assistant guides new hires through their onboarding checklist, answers HR policy questions in real time using RAG over the policy library, and escalates complex cases to an HR partner.

Outcome

New hires reach operational independence faster and report a significantly better onboarding experience. HR teams reclaim time from repetitive queries and focus on high-value interactions — complex cases, performance conversations, and culture building.

Key Performance Indicators
  • 25% reduction in time-to-productivity for new hires
  • 40% decrease in HR helpdesk tickets in first 90 days
  • Net Promoter Score improvement for onboarding experience
