- A first onboarding structure of your own without an HR tool
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.

Frequently asked questions
Answers on usage and legal aspects.
Instead of hardware (laptop, SSO, Slack) you will find industry-typical tasks here: order the uniform, induct on the POS and till system, product knowledge, the fitting room process, theft prevention and sales training. The owners are branch management, shift management and a buddy rather than HR and IT.
Yes. The tasks are generic enough for fashion, lifestyle, chemists and specialist retail. Mandatory training such as hygiene and fire safety and the POS process are universal. Sector specifics (food hygiene, for example) you add in the editable template.
Yes. The template is openly editable: remove tasks, add tasks, adjust owners and deadlines, and save it as your branch's master template.
For example: a new joiner is created, and tasks are generated automatically for branch management (order the uniform), shift management (POS induction in week 1) and HR (hygiene training). Owners get reminders and progress appears in the personnel file, with no Excel upkeep.
