Introist Supports Your Employee Retention Strategy in 4 Key Areas

1. Automate Onboarding for the Entire Probation Period

When onboarding is manual, it's easy for key steps to be overlooked, which can leave new hires feeling lost, overwhelmed, or disengaged. For your retention strategy to be successful, it's crucial to get onboarding right—especially during the probation period, when employees are forming their first impressions of the company.

Introist - How to automate the onboarding of new employees with Introist

How Introist helps

Introist transforms the onboarding experience by automating tasks and delivering crucial information at just the right time. Once a contract is signed, you can:

• Schedule personalized welcome letters

  
  

• Automatically arrange meetings with managers 

  
  

• Send personalized messages to employees across platforms like email, Slack, or Teams

  
  

• Customize reminders and updates for managers and stakeholders

  
  

• Automatically match new hires with buddies and mentors for rapid orientation

  
  

• Grant access to critical systems

  
  

• Schedule notification to set up credit cards and other essentials 

That way, Introist automates onboarding for the entire probation period, ensuring an experience that's compliant, efficient, and also employee-friendly– setting the tone for long-term engagement.

2. Automate Employee Well-Being with Timely Actions

Monitoring sick leave, workloads, and overall employee satisfaction plays a crucial role in preventing burnout and fostering a healthy work environment. When employees feel that their workload is being managed and their well-being is a priority, they're more likely to stay engaged, loyal, and productive, contributing to long-term retention.

How Introist helps

Introist simplifies the monitoring of sick leaves and workloads with automated actions that ensure both transparency and accountability. Employees and managers can define thresholds for key metrics, such as maximum overtime hours or acceptable levels of sick leave.

That way, they are kept informed of any triggers, such as exceeding overtime or taking too much sick leave. And when intervention is needed, Introist provides timely information, automates meetings, and keeps HR in the loop, ensuring no one is overburdened and everyone feels supported.

With these features and more, HR managers who automate employee well-being with Introist can:

• Stay engaged with each employee and express care through personalized messaging

  
  

• Identify potential burnout risks through regular well-being checks and workload assessments.

  
  

• Gather valuable feedback to identify areas for improvement and enhance job satisfaction.

3. Absences and Vacation: Ensure continuity during absences

   
   

Here’s a no-fun fact: One in six employees (16 percent) are actively looking for a new job, and almost half (46 percent) would consider a better job opportunity even if they weren’t actively looking. The chances that an employee might not return from a “quick sick leave” are highly likely.

That’s why, in addition to other employment engagement programs, effective leave management is crucial for employee satisfaction and retention. When employees feel confident that their roles are covered during their absence, they are more likely to return refreshed and engaged. 

How Introist Helps

Introist automates the entire leave management process, ensuring that everything from approvals to task delegation happens seamlessly in two steps. 

• Detection: As soon as leave is approved within your HR tools, Introist automatically detects the leave type and initiates a light offboarding process for the departing employee. It also prepares for their return by coordinating the necessary tasks for a smooth reintegration.

  
  

• Actions: Introist ensures that all critical tasks are performed promptly. This includes notifying managers to delegate responsibilities, keeping employees in the loop, and tracking actions for compliance. The system maintains a complete record of every action taken during the leave process to protect the business from potential compliance risks.

  
  

With Introist, HR, and managers guarantee that the organization continues to run efficiently while employees are on leave, no matter the type of absence. This proactive approach supports retention by respecting employees’ needs and safeguarding the organization against operational disruptions.

4. Create an automated employee offboarding experience

   
   

Offboarding is a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous stakeholders and interrelated tasks. When handled manually, it often leads to inconsistent experiences, forgotten tasks, and significant security risks due to delays in revoking system access or retrieving company assets. 

Beyond these immediate concerns, poor offboarding can incur unnecessary administrative costs and sap HR resources. That experience negatively impacts employee morale and employer branding– after all, how you treat an employee on their way out shapes the perception of those who stay. 

How Introist Helps

Introist transforms offboarding processes by automating critical tasks that ensure a respectful, efficient, and secure employee departure. Specifically, it streamlines the following critical offboarding operations: 

• Automate personalized offboarding messages to departing employees across platforms, such as email, Slack, or Teams.

  
  

• Safely schedule exit interviews and handover sessions by automatically coordinating availability between departing employees and managers.

  
  

• Automatically reminds and prompts key stakeholders—such as managers, People Ops, and IT—to complete necessary offboarding tasks.

  
  

That way, Introist not only protects your organization from security risks and inefficiencies but also preserves your employer brand, ensuring that the departure is just as positive as the time spent within the company.

Why Choose Introist to Automate Core Employee Retention Tactics

1. Automate Routine Administrative Tasks

Routine administrative tasks are the backbone of any successful employee retention strategy. When handled manually, these tasks can create bottlenecks, increase errors, and cause frustration for both HR teams and employees. 

Introist offers tools that transform these retention-killing manual tasks into efficient, streamlined processes. This ensures your team can focus on what really matters—keeping your employees engaged and satisfied.

2. Create Consistent Processes

Employee retention initiatives like onboarding, training, performance reviews, and feedback collection can vary significantly without technology, depending on who runs the process. Some employees might receive a seamless onboarding experience, while others may feel neglected or confused. 

Introist standardizes these processes, ensuring every new hire receives the same high-quality experience, and building trust and reliability. With Introist, you can:

• Define clear roles and responsibilities

3. Stay Organized and Scalable in Your Retention Program

As your company grows, managing employee retention becomes increasingly complex. Without a scalable and organized approach, even the best technology can fall short. HR teams may find themselves overwhelmed, leading to inefficiencies and a potential return to traditional, less effective processes.

Introist’s automation enables HR teams to efficiently manage a growing workforce without increasing their workload. It facilitates process improvement and centralizes communication, ensuring your retention strategy remains robust and adaptable, even as you scale.

• More real-time employee experience management and less reactive, ineffective operations
