Onboarding Dashboards & Analytics for Better Insights

EMP Trust’s real-time employee dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into the onboarding process, enabling HR managers and team leaders to view current status information and guide new hires through their onboarding journey with confidence and precision. The dashboard displays real-time status updates for all onboarding activities, showing which tasks have been completed, which are in progress, and which are pending or overdue, allowing managers to quickly identify new hires who may need additional support or follow-up. The new hire dashboard can be configured by joining date, department, and location, providing the flexibility to view onboarding status in the way that’s most meaningful for your organization’s structure and management approach. For example, a department manager might configure the dashboard to show only new hires joining their department, while an HR director might view all new hires across the organization, and a regional HR manager might filter by location to see onboarding status for their geographic area. The dashboard tracks real-time status updates and alerts to keep new hires and managers on the same page, ensuring that everyone has access to current information about onboarding progress and any issues that require attention. This real-time visibility is transformative because it eliminates the lag time that occurs with traditional reporting methods where data is only current as of the last report run, enabling managers to make decisions and take actions based on the most current information available. The ability to guide new hires through the onboarding process using dashboard insights means that HR can proactively reach out to new hires who are falling behind, provide additional resources or support to those who are struggling with specific tasks, and ensure that all new hires complete their onboarding activities before their start date or within the required timeframe.

EMP Trust’s comprehensive MIS (Management Information System) reports provide unique views for each activity, task, and form status organized by employee, department, and work groups, giving organizations the detailed information they need to manage onboarding effectively and make data-driven decisions about process improvements. These reports go beyond simple status summaries to provide granular visibility into every aspect of the onboarding process, including which specific activities have been completed by each employee, the status of each required form, task completion rates by department or work group, time-to-completion metrics for various onboarding activities, and identification of bottlenecks or recurring delays in the onboarding workflow. The reports can provide employee-level detail showing the complete onboarding status for individual new hires, which is valuable for case management and individual support. Department-level reports aggregate data to show how different departments are performing in terms of onboarding completion rates, time-to-productivity, and compliance with onboarding requirements, enabling comparison and identification of best practices or problem areas. Work group reports provide visibility into the performance of specific teams or functions involved in onboarding, such as IT provisioning teams, facilities teams, or HR coordinators, allowing organizations to identify resource constraints or training needs. All reports can be extracted in various formats including Excel for further analysis and manipulation, PDF for formal documentation and sharing, web archive for online viewing and distribution, and image formats for inclusion in presentations or other documents. A critical security feature is that key PII (Personally Identifiable Information) data is always masked in reports to prevent inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information, ensuring that reports can be shared broadly for operational purposes without creating data privacy or security risks.

EMP Trust’s reports and dashboards are highly configurable, allowing managers and users to get the information they need when they need it, in the format that’s most useful for their specific role and responsibilities. This configurability is essential because different stakeholders have different information needs—executives need high-level strategic metrics, HR managers need operational details, department managers need information specific to their teams, and compliance officers need audit-focused reports. The platform enables users to personalize data views by selecting which metrics to display, choosing the time period for analysis, filtering by department, location, employee type, or other relevant attributes, and organizing information in the sequence and format that best supports their decision-making process. Users can get deeper insights into key actions they need to take by drilling down from summary metrics to detailed transaction-level data, allowing them to understand not just what is happening but why it’s happening and what specific actions are needed to address issues. The customization capabilities extend to dashboard layouts, allowing users to arrange widgets and visualizations in the way that makes most sense for their workflow, and to save custom views for reuse rather than having to reconfigure dashboards each time they access the system. This level of customization ensures that the reporting and analytics capabilities serve the diverse needs of all stakeholders rather than forcing everyone to work with generic, one-size-fits-all reports that may not provide the specific insights they need. The ability for users to create and save their own custom reports and dashboards also reduces the burden on IT or reporting teams to create and maintain numerous specialized reports for different user groups.

EMP Trust’s onboarding dashboards provide comprehensive metrics and insights that enable organizations to monitor, measure, and continuously improve their onboarding processes. The dashboards track activity status, showing which onboarding activities have been initiated, are in progress, or have been completed, providing visibility into the flow of work through the onboarding process. Task status metrics show the completion rate for various onboarding tasks, identify overdue tasks that require immediate attention, and highlight tasks that consistently take longer than expected to complete, indicating potential process inefficiencies or resource constraints. Form status tracking provides visibility into which required forms have been completed by each new hire, which are pending, and which may have errors or missing information that need to be corrected. The dashboards can display metrics organized by employee, allowing HR to track individual new hire progress and identify those who may need additional support or follow-up. Department-level metrics enable comparison of onboarding performance across different parts of the organization, identifying departments that consistently achieve excellent onboarding outcomes and those that may need additional resources, training, or process improvements. Work group metrics provide visibility into the performance of specific teams involved in onboarding, such as IT provisioning teams or HR coordinators, enabling resource allocation decisions and identification of training needs. Time-based metrics track how long various onboarding activities take to complete, enabling organizations to set realistic expectations, identify bottlenecks, and measure the impact of process improvements. Compliance metrics track completion of required activities such as Form I-9, E-Verify, policy acknowledgments, and required training, ensuring that the organization can demonstrate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. These comprehensive metrics transform onboarding from an opaque process where success is measured only by whether new hires show up on their first day into a transparent, measurable process that can be continuously optimized based on data-driven insights.

EMP Trust’s reporting and dashboard capabilities are designed to support the diverse information needs of different stakeholders involved in or impacted by the onboarding process, recognizing that executives, HR managers, department managers, compliance officers, and other stakeholders each require different types of information to fulfill their responsibilities effectively. Executives typically need high-level strategic metrics such as overall onboarding completion rates, time-to-productivity for new hires, cost per hire, and trends over time that indicate whether onboarding is improving or declining, which the dashboards provide through summary visualizations and key performance indicators. HR managers need operational details such as which new hires are currently in the onboarding pipeline, which tasks are overdue, which new hires need follow-up, and which processes are creating bottlenecks, which the dashboards provide through detailed status views and exception reports. Department managers need information specific to their teams, such as which new hires are joining their department, when they’ll start, what their onboarding status is, and what actions the manager needs to take, which can be provided through filtered views that show only relevant information. Compliance officers need audit-focused reports that demonstrate completion of required activities, proper documentation, and adherence to regulatory requirements, which the comprehensive MIS reports provide with appropriate detail and security controls. IT managers need visibility into technology provisioning tasks, equipment orders, and system access requests to ensure their teams are meeting service level commitments, which can be provided through work group reports focused on IT activities. This multi-stakeholder approach ensures that the reporting and analytics capabilities serve the entire organization rather than just a single function, enabling better coordination, accountability, and decision-making across all groups involved in creating excellent onboarding experiences.

EMP Trust’s reporting and dashboard capabilities provide the data-driven insights necessary for organizations to continuously improve their onboarding processes rather than simply maintaining the status quo or making changes based on anecdotal feedback or gut feelings. The comprehensive metrics enable organizations to establish baseline performance measurements for key onboarding indicators such as time-to-completion for various activities, task completion rates, compliance achievement, and new hire satisfaction, providing a foundation for setting improvement goals and measuring progress. The ability to track metrics over time allows organizations to identify trends, such as whether onboarding completion rates are improving or declining, whether certain types of tasks are taking longer to complete than they used to, or whether specific departments are improving their onboarding performance. The detailed visibility into task and activity status enables identification of bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the onboarding process, such as tasks that consistently take longer than expected, activities that frequently require rework due to errors, or dependencies between tasks that create unnecessary delays. Comparative analysis across departments, locations, or time periods helps identify best practices that can be replicated and problem areas that need attention, enabling organizations to learn from their own experience and spread successful approaches throughout the organization. The reports provide the documentation needed to justify investments in onboarding improvements, such as additional resources, new technologies, or process redesign, by quantifying the current state and projecting the impact of proposed changes. After implementing changes, the dashboards enable measurement of impact to determine whether the changes achieved the desired results, providing accountability for improvement initiatives and enabling course correction if changes don’t deliver expected benefits. This data-driven approach to continuous improvement transforms onboarding from a static process that changes only when problems become severe into a dynamic, evolving process that consistently gets better over time, delivering improving experiences for new hires and better business outcomes for the organization.
