Use Case
Preboarding
Preboarding.
The period between offer acceptance and a new hire’s first day.
Imagine the employee as a passenger on cruise ship. The the offer letter is their ticket.
Once their ticket is ‘purchased,’ it’s time to prepare for their arrival: add them to the passenger manifest, prepare accommodations, and curate an itinerary.
Similarly, the preboarding process for employees focuses on paperwork, provisioning (accounts, equipment, access), background checks, and welcome communications so the employee arrives ready to start.
Thoughtfully curated.
Use the preboarding period to set expectations and cultivate a sense of belonging.
Slipstream can walk the candidate through necessary information they’ll need for their first day — transit instructions to the office, documents they may need to bring, introductions to key team members, and more.
Access to Slipstream’s chat interface means employees are supported with any questions they have leading up to their first day.
