Onboarding in Zoho People is the structured process of integrating a new employee into the organisation — completing documentation, setting up system access, assigning equipment, completing compliance training, and introducing the employee to their team — managed through automated checklists and workflows.
Onboarding in Zoho People covers everything that needs to happen from the moment a new employee’s offer is accepted until they are fully productive in their role. Rather than managing this through emails and manual reminders, Zoho People structures it as a series of tasks assigned to different stakeholders — HR, IT, the hiring manager, and the new employee themselves — with deadlines and automated reminders.
Zoho People supports pre-boarding: sending the new hire a welcome email with a self-service link where they can complete their personal details, upload identity documents, and fill in bank account information before their first day. This means HR has the paperwork ready before the employee walks through the door.
An Onboarding Checklist defines all the tasks required during the onboarding process — issuing the ID card, setting up email, enrolling in benefits, scheduling induction meetings. Each task is assigned to an owner (HR, IT, the manager) with a due date. Progress is tracked centrally so nothing falls through the cracks.
