Onboard New Employees Faster

Bridge is packed with helpful features designed to amplify the benefits of strong onboarding. 

The platform makes it easy to set up 1on1s between new hires and key stakeholders, allowing your managers and team members to quickly forge strong bonds with incoming employees. Bridge 1on1s allow managers and employees to add agenda items that new hires can access in advance, minimizing the natural anxieties that accompany those initial conversations. 

Combine these meetings with goal-setting and career driver exercises and you’ll give your new hires a tailor-made start to the next stage of their careers, providing the ‘why’ behind the work they’re doing. By tying these individual goals to larger organizational objectives, you’ll find your starters will quickly begin to contribute to your culture and targets.

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.
