New Hire Onboarding That Goes Beyond the First Day

Bridge treats onboarding as the first chapter of a career, not just a one-week checklist. By housing learning and performance in one place, we ensure your new hires are supported from their first login through their first promotion.

• Phase 1: Alignment Automated Learning Journeys handle the basics while integrated 1-on-1s connect new hires to their managers immediately. It’s about building a sense of belonging and setting clear goals from day one.

• Phase 2: Mastery The focus shifts to Skill building. Bridge uses AI-driven skills mapping to identify and close role-specific gaps, providing personalized course recommendations that turn new hires into high performers.

• Phase 3: Growth We eliminate the onboarding cliff with Career Pathing. Employees can visualize their future at the company, mapping out the skills they need for their next internal move and keeping them engaged for the long haul.

You certainly can! 

Bridge Journeys allows you to create fully configurable learning journeys that include employee-led, instructor-led, and evidence-based tasks delivered automatically and at appropriate intervals. There’s no need to overwhelm a new team member on day one with a deluge of training courses—spread out the onboarding process in a manageable and memorable way.

Managers will find Journeys an elegant way to engage with new employees thanks to performance features like the ability to schedule 1on1 conversations into each new hire’s journey. By selecting the right 1on1 cadence, managers will ensure that they’re automatically plugged into each individual’s onboarding journey—even when faced with an influx of new hires and competing responsibilities.

Bridge’s analytics features offer an array of ways to keep track of your new hires and make sure they’re getting to grips with your organization. With highly customizable reporting that allows you to filter by user groups, due dates, and course progression, you’ll gain instant insights into any new hires who may be struggling to keep up with the process.

Similarly, Bridge Analytics provides access to a number of performance-related metrics, helping you to measure vital parts of the onboarding process like the frequency of manager-employee 1on1s. If a new hire is behind on their training, it’s easy to make sure they’re getting the peer and manager support they need to keep the onboarding process moving smoothly.

You can also get a sense of how new employees are progressing by asking them! Thanks to Bridge’s handy employee engagement surveys, you’ll get a firm handle on how new hires are reacting to your onboarding process—and you’ll make newcomers feel heard too. 

By recording and analyzing employee feedback, you can measure their engagement with onboarding and continuously fine-tune the way you welcome newcomers into your organization.

Bridge gives you the ability to create smart groups, allowing you to efficiently manage large numbers of new hires.

Specifying criteria like a range of hire dates will allow Bridge to automatically create smart groups. You can then use those groups to enroll substantial volumes of new hires en masse.
