Employee onboarding surveys

Our Employee Onboarding Surveys help you easily measure the employee experience of your new starters to ensure your onboarding process is as effective as possible and your new hires are getting off to a flying start. .

What are employee onboarding surveys?

Just imagine you're new to the company, all bright eyed and bushy tailed, yet no-one knows who you are when you arrive, you don't meet your manager for a week, and you spend the first few days just finding out where to have lunch.

This situation is not as unusual as it might sound. Data from our own clients' employee onboarding surveys shows that engagement levels in new starters can decrease in as little as 4 weeks if their employee experience is negative.

The employee onboarding process is critical for helping new employees feel integrated into the organisation. Our Employee Onboarding Surveys (sometimes called onboarder surveys or new starter surveys) ensure your onboarding process is as effective as possible.

We help you get your employee onboarding survey up and running quickly and cost-effectively.

Tailored onboarding survey design

Whilst we can easily give you an off-the-shelf solution, we believe that the content of your employee onboarding survey is most effective when it is designed to meet the specific needs of your organisation.

We we will work with you to design your onboarding survey, ensuring the content and look and feel suits your business and delivers what you want to achieve.

Ours is not a self-service solution

We know that you’re mega busy. We also know that there is lots involved in designing and deploying an effective onboarding survey so we will support you with our expertise and save you time by managing the whole process for you.

You might feel you want the freedom that a self-serve solution offers, but our responsiveness means that we can get something live for you as quickly as doing it yourself. Why do the work yourself when we can do it for you?

Easy to complete

Your employee onboarding survey will be deployed through our own highly secure employee survey platform.

We issue onboarding survey invites via email or SMS, but we also use QR code where you don't have email addresses or where staff are not deskbound.

Our onboarding surveys are fully mobile optimised making it easy for people to complete them whenever and wherever they want.

Intuitive survey analysis and reporting

Survey reporting dashboard

Analysing your onboarding survey data is really easy with our survey platform.

Our employee survey platform was built specifically for employee onboarding surveys so the inbuilt analysis tools are all relevant to what you want to see through our web-based reporting dashboard.

Unlike other dashboarding software, there is no configuration needed to make it work. It also means you don't need to involve IT!

Real-time survey results

The real power of our employee onboarding survey platform is that it makes accessing your onboarding survey data extremely easy through our reporting dashboard.

You can view your onboarder survey data in real-time and it is always there for you to view.

Intuitive analysis

Playing around with your onboarding survey data is highly intuitive and makes slicing and dicing your data significantly quicker and easier than using Excel or other business intelligence software.

Bring your onboarding survey data to life

With multiple charting options and preset analysis already built in, our reporting dashboard really helps bring your employee survey data to life allowing you to quickly identify key insights and share those with your stakeholders.

We can even import any historical onboarding survey data you might have. For instance if you have previously run an employee survey (using something like SurveyMonkey), you can use our survey platform to seamlessly switch over and begin viewing and interrogating that data through our reporting dashboard.

Proactive survey reporting

We will send you a summary report of your onboarding survey results every quarter.

The report will be in pdf format and will show your survey results by quarter.

The report will provide:

  • an overview of survey scores by theme
  • individual question scores
  • heatmaps showing variations in themes based on demographics such as gender, ethnicity etc.
  • open comments

From insight to action

Data means nothing if you don't take action as a result.

Our onboarding survey platform will enable you to move from insight to action.

Realworld Employee Surveys

User access

We can provide your users access to their own survey dataset(s) so they can access and play around with all of their onboarding survey data. This greatly increases the level of ownership and accountability for doing something with the survey data. Users are often the HR team, but they can also be operational managers. We provide familiarisation training to users, supported by 'how to' videos and ongoing support.

Flexible reporting

Creating reports is really quick and easy through our reporting dashboard - whatever you see on screen you can add to a report. Users can create as many ad-hoc onboarding survey reports as they want, as often as they want, for no extra cost.

Inbuilt action planning

Our employee survey reporting dashboard has comprehensive action planning functionality built in making it easy to define actions, assign responsibility and monitor progress.

I've had the pleasure of working with the team at Realworld for many years - always supportive, always reliable. Highly recommended.

Lindsay Allen, HR Director, Services for Education

The whole team at Realworld offer an intelligent insight into our employee experience. Since working with Realworld our employee engagement has risen and we have been able to make positive changes within the workplace which mirrors our employee voice. The data/feedback Realworld has provided us with has enriched our business performance. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
