No more forgotten checklists

Bringing new people on board or organising a departure normally means Excel lists, email ping-pong and forgotten tasks. MetronHR puts an end to that.

Problem

Excel chaos with every new starter

Working through the same checklist for every new colleague, sending emails by hand and hoping nobody forgets anything.

Problem

Unclear responsibilities

Who orders the equipment? Who makes the welcome call? Who sorts out the accounts? Without a clear assignment something always slips.

Problem

Every departure a source of stress

Which accounts need deactivating? Who collects the hardware? Has the exit interview happened? Offboarding should not be chaotic.

Solution

Processes that run by themselves

Build onboarding and offboarding templates once, visually. MetronHR hands out every task automatically, sends emails at the right moment and reminds everyone involved.

This is how simply you automate onboarding and offboarding

No code, no complexity. Build processes by drag and drop and let MetronHR do the rest.

Step1

Create a template

Choose onboarding or offboarding and define every task visually in the designer. Tasks can depend on each other, and automatic emails go out at the right time.

Designer

A visual process designer

Automatic layout, zoom, minimap and validation of the dependencies

Tasks

Task management that thinks along

Tasks with dependencies, due dates and automatic assignment

Tasks can depend on each other and are released automatically

Email automation

Personalised emails at the right moment, automatically

Placeholders for names, roles and start dates; emails go out on a schedule or when a task is completed

Managers see every pending approval under "My tasks" and can approve or decline with one click

Progress

Progress shown in real time

See at a glance which processes are on schedule and where things are stuck

A dashboard with progress bars, overdue tasks and an analysis of where things are stuck

Traceability

Who did it and when, per task

Every task records who took it on and when they finished it

Owner, status, due date, completion time and a note, for every task in the sequence

Onboarding for your whole team

Whether you run the company, lead a team or are the new starter, everyone gets exactly what they need.

Owner or director

Professional onboarding without extra work

Your business is growing, but with every new starter something slips: lost checklists, forgotten emails.

Set up a template once and every new starter is brought on board in a structured way from day one, with no extra work.

Team lead

Onboarding that actually works

New starters feel lost because you forgot to schedule the welcome meeting or assign a buddy.

MetronHR reminds you of every important step automatically, from the first day to the 90-day check-in.

Employee

In good hands from day one

A new job, but nobody quite knows what you need. Equipment is missing, accounts are not set up.

Everything is ready before you start, from the login details to the welcome meeting.

Accountant

Clean records from day one

New starters are entered into the system late, documents are missing, records are incomplete.

Every relevant piece of information is captured during onboarding and is ready for payroll right away.

Security and data protection

Onboarding processes carry sensitive employee data and need the highest security standards.
