Onboarding new employees is a crucial yet intricate process. HR managers globally face many challenges in ensuring that each new team member integrates smoothly and efficiently into the organization. Key limitations include:

  • Maintaining consistent onboarding quality.
  • Handling budgetary constraints.
  • Offering after-hours support.
  • Keeping remote employees engaged during onboarding sessions.
  • Addressing concerns related to engagement and retention. 

Research shows that only about 12% of U.S. employees find their company's onboarding process satisfactory (1), even though 69% assert they would be more committed to organizations that provide an exceptional onboarding experience (2). Thus, any company must have a smooth onboarding process that will be effective and efficient for new hires and the company. 

How can UNITH's AI Digital Humans help with all of the abovementioned? 

At the core of this transformative approach are artificial intelligence and machine learning. Creating a personalized Digital HR Assistant starts with choosing the visual appearance or cloning from a real person and choosing the voice from a library of over 600 options in over 60 languages. Next, the Digital Assistant is 'trained' with the needed information to guide new employees through essential resources, apps and software tutorials, company values, and other crucial knowledge. Once Digital HR is trained, it can educate new employees and answer questions in real-time conversation. 

What result to expect?
