What is onboarding in Monotree?
Included in every Monotree plan, with no add-ons
Onboarding in Monotree is a guided flow in the employee app. Whether it is a new waiter in a restaurant or a new cashier in a store, the new hire opens the app before their first shift and finds the courses, handbooks, forms and checklists they need, in the order you have decided, with a progress bar and a deadline.
The flow is put together automatically. Each item is targeted at departments and job titles, so a bartender in Copenhagen and a receptionist in Oslo get different onboardings from the same setup. When the employee comes from your HR or shift planning system, nobody has to assign anything by hand.
Onboarding is the first of your journeys. With the same tools you can build more journeys that start a set number of days after hire, such as a 90-day follow-up or a leadership track, so development does not stop after the first weeks.
-
Set onboarding deadlines
-
Tailor onboarding for each role or departments
-
HQ and managers have full overview of everyone's status and progress
Every step of the first weeks
From the welcome message to the manager signing off the last task.
-
Flows tailored per role
Onboarding content follows your groups, so every role and department gets its own flow without extra administration.
-
Deadlines
Set how many weeks a new hire has to finish. Employees see their deadline, and overdue onboardings stand out in the overview.
-
Fixed order when it matters
Lock a journey so the steps have to be completed in order, for example safety before the first shift.
-
Tasks for managers too
Add checklists with tasks for the manager, such as handing over a uniform, and tasks that need an approval.
-
Live status for HQ and managers
See who has started, who is done and who is behind, per department and per employee.
-
Journeys after day one
Start a new journey a set number of days after hire, and run custom tracks such as a programme for new leaders.
Build once, run for every new hire
You build the flow once. After that it runs for every new hire without anyone pressing a button.
-
Build the flow once
Combine courses, handbooks, forms and checklists, and choose the departments and job titles each item is for.

New hires start on their phone
The employee is invited to the app, often before the first day, and gets the flow that matches their role.

Managers and HQ see status and deadlines live, and your other systems can be notified when an onboarding is completed.

What customers say
Read the storyAs soon as we saw the Monotree platform, it just felt like second nature. So quite an intuitive chat feature similar to WhatsApp, a news feed similar to Facebook, to have a single platform where we can do onboarding, day-to-day communication, news broadcasts, that was critical for us.
The platform behind onboarding
Every Monotree feature runs on the same groups, translations, notifications and security, so you set things up once and it works everywhere.
-
Targeting by department and role
Reach the departments, job titles or custom groups something concerns. Groups can follow your HR or shift planning system.
-
Automatic translations
Content is translated automatically, so every employee reads it in their own language.
-
Push notifications with quiet hours
Employees get a push when something concerns them. Quiet hours, muting and vacation mode keep work out of their time off.
-
One price, everything included
One price per user covers every feature, AI, integrations, personal onboarding and support.

Questions about onboarding
-
Can onboarding differ between roles and departments?
Yes. Every item in the onboarding is targeted at departments, job titles or custom groups, and each new hire automatically gets the items that match their groups. You maintain one setup, and the app puts together the right flow for each person.
-
Can new hires start before their first day?
Yes. As soon as the employee is invited to the app, they can start their onboarding on their own phone, so the practical things are done before the first shift.
-
Can we set a deadline for onboarding?
Yes. You set how many weeks a new hire has to complete the onboarding. The employee sees the deadline, and managers and HQ see which onboardings are overdue.
-
Can we use it for more than the first weeks?
Yes. Besides the onboarding itself, you can create custom journeys that start a number of days after hire, for example a follow-up after 90 days or a track for new leaders.
-
Is onboarding created automatically when we hire someone?
Yes, when Monotree is connected to your HR or shift planning system. New employees are created in Monotree with their department and job title, and their onboarding is ready when they open the app.
-
Do we pay extra for onboarding?
No. Monotree has one price per user, and it covers every feature including onboarding, along with AI, integrations, personal onboarding and live chat support. There are no modules or add-ons.
-
Can employees use onboarding on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Your employees use Monotree as your own branded app on iPhone and Android, and administrators manage content and settings in a web-based CMS.
