Understanding OnBoarding

OnBoarding is the action or process of integrating new workers into an organization by providing a centralized location to enter all their personnel required data into the system. PeopleSoft OnBoarding provides a mechanism where workers can expedite their employment process so they can more readily transition into their job where they can now focus on the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective organizational members. The PeopleSoft OnBoarding pages consist of individual tasks, or steps, the worker needs to complete in accordance with his or her new job. After all the data is entered, the worker completes the OnBoarding processes and the data is automatically updated in the system.

The following videos provide an overview and demonstration of how to use OnBoarding:
