Overview

Effectory’s Onboarding Survey empowers organizations to gather crucial feedback from new hires during their first weeks of employment. It helps ensure that new employees feel welcomed, engaged, and supported by capturing their early experiences 10–25 days after joining the company, fully anonymously. The collected insights provide HR teams with valuable input on how to improve onboarding processes, reduce early turnover, and foster a more positive start for every new team member. By identifying challenges early, the survey contributes to higher engagement, stronger retention, and a smoother employee journey.
