Why e Sign Workflow is a Game Changer for HR and Onboarding Teams

In today's fast moving business world the experience new starters have during their induction period can set the tone for their entire journey at your organisation. Yet many HR teams remain stuck with paper-based workflows - sending printed, scanned and couriered letters; unsigned forms; and waiting weeks for documents to move from desk to desk when it comes to getting people on board.

What if, instead, HR and onboarding teams could put in place a digital document signing process that makes new employees sign instantly from anywhere? A streamlined system where HR spends less time chasing paper work and more time interacting with people.

That's exactly what a modern e-Signature workflow gives -- and for HR departments, it's a transformative solution.

Benefits of using e-Sign Workflow for HR & Onboarding

• Faster On Boarding and Increased Time-to-Productivity

By switching from paper to electronic signatures, HR can ensure that offer letters, joining forms and policy acknowledgements are signed before Day One. New hires come in eager to be about learning and performance -- not paperwork. Studies show e-Signatures reduce the turnaround time of documents by up to 90%.

• Improved Candidate & Employee Experience

A streamlined "sign from anywhere" experience provides a positive first impression. New employees perceive the organisation as being tech-enabled and efficient. This creates higher employee engagement and first day satisfaction.

• Decreased Administrative Workload for HR Teams

Time consuming manual processes - paper, scanning, chase approval, file - result in errors. With an automated e-Sign workflow, HR can configure document routing and auto-reminders and get the real-time tracking of the documents, leaving teams free of repetitive admin work.

• Stronger Security and Compliance and Audit Trail

Onboarding documents are likely to contain sensitive information. Digital e-Signature solutions such as SignSecure provide identity verification, impenetrable logs and secure cloud storage, which ensures that all signatures are legally valid and completely traceable.

• Excessive Cost Savings & Scalability

Switching to a paperless onboarding system no longer requires printing, courier or storage costs. As your company grows, the volume of e-Sign workflow easily supports higher volumes without adding HR overhead.

Steps to Apply to an Effective e-Sign Onboarding Workflow

• List all documents requiring signatures - provide letters, NDA, joining forms, HR policies, declarations etc.
• Select a secure e-Signature platform that is legally compliant in your region and integrates with your HRMS/onboarding software.
• Define the signing sequence -- candidate - HR - reporting manager
• Automate signatures through notifications and reminders for pending signatures
• As for code, you can create reusable templates to prepare documents faster.
• Test the workflow on a small number of new hires in order to identify bottlenecks.
• Track KPIs such as signing time, completion rate, and user satisfaction to continually improve.
