When Excel reaches its limits

A checklist reminds nobody. A workflow does.

Excel checklists work for the first new employee and are forgotten by the third. MetronHR turns the onboarding plan into a reusable workflow: tasks are assigned automatically, owners are reminded, and the status per employee is documented with editor and timestamp and linked to the personnel file.
