According to Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), staff turnover can be up to 50% during the first 18 months of work, and Work Institute research shows that 37.9% of employees who leave the organization do so within the first year. This process is directly affected by the quality of onboarding. The fact is that many companies still manage new hire onboarding processes through paper documents, hundreds of emails, and disparate tasks, which leads to clutter and slows down the integration of new talent. Odoo allows you to switch to digital onboarding and simplify the life of both HR professionals and newcomers. We'll tell you how in this article.
Digital onboarding: everything in one place
Lack of structure is one of the key challenges companies face when onboarding newcomers. Without a clear plan, this process becomes chaotic, which affects the motivation and perception of the new team member from day one.
This is where Odoo's digital onboarding tools completely transform this experience. From digital contracts and documents to first-day tasks, everything follows a clear, automated process. With checklists, automated reminders, and tasks assigned to specific managers or teams, such as IT or HR, the process is faster, clearer, and nothing is left out.

At the same time, according to InsightGlobalAccording to the company, 22% of employees leave within the first 90 days, and 60% of those who leave within the first three months do so due to lack of training or disorganization.
Integration with other Odoo modules

Instead of asking for signatures or reviewing paperwork, managers can focus on proactively guiding and supporting new employees through their onboarding process. Research. Harvard Business Review shows that a standardized digital onboarding process can improve new hire retention by 50% and productivity by 62%.
One of the biggest advantages of Odoo HR tools is their ability to integrate with other modules. When connected to apps like Leave, Payroll, and Documents, all employee information is automatically updated. This ensures that their access, leave, holidays, and payments are set up from day one, without relying on manual processes.
This is especially true in the context of remote work. According to BambooHR, 17% of HR teams say that a poor first impression from candidates and new hires affects their employer brand, and 29% say that manual onboarding processes frustrate new hires as much as they do them.

Moreover, the system allows you to adapt forms, assign different managers, and set up specific routes without the need for complex development.
These tools also make it easier to track the process through metrics such as onboarding completion time, task completion, new hire satisfaction, and retention rates. For information.
