Here’s our third, awkwardly silent feature preview: adding a new hire and setting up their onboarding page in Kin.
In our last feature preview, we showed you how a new hire experiences Kin and your company for the first time, via a beautiful onboarding page. In this video, we show you how an employer adds that new employee to Kin and gets his or her onboarding page set up and ready to go.
Why use Kin’s onboarding page? Because if you deliver it to your new hire a few days before they even start, they’ll arrive informed and ready to get to work instead of full of questions and paperwork to fill out. Like we wrote last time: The most effective way to ensure a new employee gets off on the right foot is to do a good job at the simple stuff from the very beginning. Kin’s onboarding page does just that.
This founder story is from an innovative fella named Neal Sales-Griffin. Neal is co-founder and CEO of The Starter League in Chicago. The Starter League, for the uninitiated, has magical powers. In just two years, they’ve turned hundreds of people from all different walks of life into web app developers, UI designers, front-end programmers, UX designers, and entrepreneurs. →
Here’s our second, incredibly silent feature preview: Kin’s excellent onboarding page for new hires.
The most effective way to ensure a new employee gets off on the right foot is to do a good job at the simple stuff from the very beginning. Kin’s onboarding feature helps by collecting tasks, paperwork, team introductions, and first-day information like location and phone numbers all into one place. This video shows a new fella, Jason James, signing into Kin, getting familiar with his onboarding page, then completing a document he’s been asked to fill in.
We’ll have one or two more of these as we gear up for our release in early July.
As of September of 2012, small businesses made up 99.7% of employers in the United States. Ninety-nine. Point. Seven. Percent. How crazy is that?
Even crazier is how many HR management software tools there are for all those millions of small companies. There are like, well, maybe 6.
Now, you may google HR management software and find a lot more than six. HRIS and HRMS solutions are abundant to be sure. But, ya know what? They’re just not that consumable for small companies. Most tools have set up fees, take weeks to configure, and are pricey. What small company has tens of thousands of dollars laying around and a dedicated staff to configure an HR software system? Not any of the ones I’ve spoken to. →
As we gear up in these final weeks of coding, testing, brow beating and sweating to get Kin out to the public, we thought it’d be nice to start previewing some of Kin’s features.
Since it’s almost summer and most of us are making plans to get out and enjoy it, showing you how to request time off in Kin just made sense. So, here’s a sneak peek of a user doing just that: making a break for it. →
