The Challenge

The problem behind the work

As the consultancy grew, new starters did not have a consistent, trackable onboarding path. Tasks were assigned informally, training material was shared by email, and managers had no single view of progress.

The business needed a repeatable process that made onboarding easier for employees while giving managers reliable evidence of completion.

No structured journey New starter tasks, IT setup, policy review, and role-specific actions were not managed through a defined process.
Untracked training material Training resources were shared manually with no reliable completion record.
Low management visibility Managers had to chase individuals or search email threads to understand progress.
Inconsistent experience Onboarding quality varied depending on the team or manager involved.
The Solution

What was delivered

A central onboarding and training management system was delivered using Power Apps, SharePoint, and Power Automate.

Structured onboarding plan

Each new starter receives a defined set of tasks, milestones, training modules, and manager sign-off points.

Training material library

Required materials are surfaced from SharePoint with completion tracking against each employee.

Completion and sign-off tracking

Task completion, timestamps, and manager approvals are recorded in the platform for auditability.

Automated reminders

Employees and managers receive notifications when work is due, overdue, or ready for sign-off.

Management dashboard

Managers can see progress, outstanding training, blockers, and overall onboarding status from one view.

Programme analytics

Reporting highlights completion times, bottlenecks, training pass rates, and improvement opportunities.

Outcomes

What changed

Consistent onboarding
