Key Features of Our Employee Onboarding Platform

Manual onboarding creates unnecessary administrative burden for managers, HR teams, and, most importantly, your new hires. Folks’ employee onboarding software lets you automate routine tasks to deliver a faster, more effective onboarding experience.

Employee Onboarding

Build an onboarding process once, use it for your whole team

Recreating the same onboarding plan for every new hire, role by role, is the kind of repetitive task that eats your week and still lets something slip through the cracks.

With Folks, you build a process template once: organize tasks with drag-and-drop, map them to the right job titles, and you’re set. Need to tweak something down the road? Edit your template anytime — changes only apply to future triggers, never to processes already underway. One setup, reused for every new hire and every role!

Employee Onboarding

Set Up Due Dates, Flexible Tasks and Owners in One Click

Set an owner by role instead of by name: the task lands with whoever holds that role, even if the person changes. They get full descriptions, links and attachments so that they immediately know exactly what to do without chasing down information.

Trigger date, hire date, return date, or end date… Pick whichever reference point makes sense, and Folks handles the countdown and reminders for you. The icing on the cake? Every task you create stays available for future processes. Add it in one click, no starting from scratch!

Get Full Visibility of Onboarding Processes in Your Company

When several onboardings and departures are moving at once, manual reminders and follow-up emails just don’t cut it. The moment a process is triggered in Folks, every task owner (manager, HR, or the employee) automatically gets an assignment email. And across the whole organization:

  • The onboarding platform brings together every triggered process — onboarding and departures alike — with status, owners, and due dates.
  • Every employee profile keeps a full history of their processes in its own tab.
  • Only one active process per employee at a time: managers can reassign a task or adjust a deadline anytime.
  • Employees get their own reminders and check off tasks.

They love Folks

Powerful

User-friendly

What I particularly appreciate is the automated onboarding process: tasks are clearly assigned to each team member, which ensures a structured onboarding process and empowers the entire team from the moment a new employee joins. It really saves time and ensures consistency.
The support was well-organized and clear. The platform is intuitive, so it was easy to get started. For us, the most important thing was that managers could use it without needing extensive training.

Do you have questions about our employee onboarding software?

What is employee onboarding software?

Employee onboarding software is a digital platform that helps HR teams automate and manage the process of welcoming and integrating new hires. It centralizes documentation, assigns onboarding tasks, tracks progress, and ensures a structured onboarding experience.

What are the benefits of using onboarding software?

Onboarding software reduces administrative workload, improves the new hire experience, shortens time-to-productivity, and increases employee retention by providing a consistent and engaging onboarding journey.

What features should I look for in employee onboarding software?

Key features include workflow automation, customizable onboarding checklists, digital document management, e-signatures, task reminders, reporting dashboards, and integrations with HRIS and payroll systems.

Is onboarding software suitable for small businesses?

Yes. Many onboarding platforms, Folks included, are designed for small and mid-sized businesses that need to standardize onboarding processes without increasing administrative overhead.

Can onboarding software support remote employees?

Modern onboarding solutions include remote onboarding tools such as digital forms, virtual task tracking, automated reminders, and centralized communication portals to ensure a seamless experience for distributed teams.

Can onboarding software support new hire retention rates?

Yes. A structured onboarding process helps new employees feel supported, informed, and aligned with company expectations, which significantly reduces friction and early turnover.

What is the difference between onboarding and pre-boarding?

Preboarding refers to the activities that take place after a candidate signs their offer but before their first day. Onboarding includes the structured integration process during the first weeks or months of employment.
