Texting and conversation UI elements

Reach, engage, convert and retain new hires with texting

Easily communicate with new hires throughout the preboarding and onboarding journey with new 1:1 texting conversations and SMS notifications.

SilkRoad’s texting capabilities allow new hires to receive notifications for critical tasks such as offer letters, direct deposit and compliance training. Upon offer acceptance, SilkRoad Onboarding users can continue to engage new hires to welcome them to the organization, answer questions and support them through their first year of firsts with person-to-person communication.

Prepare, orient and integrate to excel

Deliver the right experiences to the right people at the right time, enhancing employees' understanding of their role and contribution to the organization.

Set expectations and provide learning early to make a strong connection between their day-to-day activities and organizational strategy. Understanding individual contribution enables employees to thrive.

Foster interpersonal connections and cultural awareness

SilkRoad RedCarpet Onboarding integrates employees into their team and department, helping them to develop meaningful relationships.

Employees who feel connected to the organization, understand how work gets accomplished and develop meaningful relationships are more likely to remain engaged. Engaged employees are more driven to perform and proactively find new ways to create and contribute value.

Continuously prepare employees for their next role

Sustain engagement throughout the employee experience with tailored experiences for every inflection point.

Give employees a compelling reason to stay with opportunities to develop new skills. Provide coaching conversations and multi-source feedback.

Land High Caliber Talent

Offer creation, approval routing, document signature, auditing and analytics for managing offers, contracts and agreements at enterprise scale.

SilkRoad Offers is a branded solution designed for organizations that need to manage and simplify complex offer and signature processes and approval workflows.

First Time Manager, Transfers and Other Role Changes

Poor manager performance is directly linked to high turnover, ineffective teams and lower profits. Tailored onboarding experiences for the new manager or other role transitions increase employee productivity and organizational performance.

Whether employees are promoted as a part of a succession plan or the creation of a new role, organizations that deliver intentional content, learning and check-ins drastically improve the chances of success for employees in transition. Strategic onboarding guides employees through their role transition with tasks and activities such as integrated learning, alignment with a new mentor or buddy and performance expectation setting, accelerating contribution and effectiveness.

Policy Acknowledgment

Consolidate multiple policies in one review process and manage compliance of annual policy acknowledgments.

Ensure compliance and efficiency by delivering required policies to employees for their review, achieving a single point of signature. For organizations that require an annual signature on certain policies, RedCarpet Onboarding delivers annual policies for acknowledgment on a yearly cadence while providing organizational insight into compliance through reporting.

Support Employees Through Significant and Potentially Uncertain Transitions

Ensure smooth transitions & encourage retention

Employees require both offboarding ahead of their departure and onboarding when they return. A carefully designed and executed experience creates a smooth transition, encourages retention and ensures productivity.

Offboard departing employees for FMLA leave

Employees need to transfer their work prior to their departure. Knowledge transfer to employees taking on additional roles or responsibilities is crucial to maintaining continuity, productivity and the achievement of goals. Departing employees feel that the organization understands their situation and is eager for their return.

Re-onboard employees returning from FMLA leave

Employees need to be re-onboarded to ensure they have the knowledge, context and support they need for a successful transition back into the workforce. Returning employees notify the team of their return date, check-in with their manager, meet up with the team to understand outstanding projects, learn about changes in strategy or direction and complete knowledge transfer for past activities and future needs.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Enhance intended outcomes by effectively onboarding people to the new organization, culture and role.

RedCarpet Onboarding delivers tailored experiences for a range of events within the employee lifecycle. Manage merger and acquisition events where acquired talent needs to understand the new company’s culture and strategy.

SilkRoad for M&A provides a positive and seamless workforce readiness and transformation solution using long-term strategic onboarding as the engine of change management. It follows employees through the acquisition process, creates personalized experiences that retain people, reduces risk and increases the success of an M&A transaction.

Mitigate Corporate Risk When Offboarding Employees and Contingent Workers

Organizations need to deploy a proportionate amount of energy and resources to preserve intellectual property and secure data by effectively managing knowledge transfer and security-related activities during offboarding.

The RedCarpet offboarding experience is a systematic way to protect your brand, reputation and business continuity. Doing so ensures the organization does not lose its reputation or ability to compete. Obtain key insights from departing employees and contingent workers through exit interviews or surveys. Secure business information, data and equipment.

With SilkRoad RedCarpet Onboarding, we’ve created a completely different new hire experience. We’ve gone from a compliance focus to a more strategic program that includes an introduction to culture, communication of the new hire’s role in the organization and meeting all compliance needs.
