SuccessFactors: Onboarding (ONB)

The SAP SuccessFactors Platform, the current basis of our Learning Management System (LMS), CityLearner, and the newly added Performance and Goals Management online review process (PMGM), is also the foundation of this new initiative, Onboarding (ONB).

The Onboarding module is designed to provide:

  • An Engaging Onboarding Portal

ONB provides a welcoming environment for new employees and internal transfers with an onboarding portal that connects them to the right information and people at the right time. ONB will help new employees build formal and informal networks to establish the relationships they’ll need to be successful.

  • Deliver a personalized portal for each new hire
  • Engage employees throughout the onboarding process
  • Provide checklists, goal plans, and other content 
  • Quickly match up mentors, experts, and employees
  • Paperless New-Hire Paperwork

Fast-track new-hire paperwork with step-by-step wizards, intuitive dashboards, and built-in electronic forms that can be filled out on any device. We will also support secure and compliant e-signatures by connecting to SAP Signature Management by DocuSign. 

  • Simplify onboarding with electronic forms 
  • Ensure data privacy and HR compliance 
  • Complete paperwork on any device
  • Offer e-signature capabilities
  • Onboarding

Provide seamless transitions for new hires, internal transfers, and those temporarily or permanently leaving the City. With visibility into the entire employee lifecycle,we can monitor progress, spot bottlenecks, and ensure compliance. Help staff succeed in new job positions by defining short-term goals (30, 60, and 90 days) – and offering personalized training via CityLearner.

  • Track and support each employee’s transition status
  • Complete tasks on time with automated alerts
  • Comply with tax laws in transfer locations 
  • Help employees exit simply and be an ambassador for their previous company

*Note:  The Phase I project scope is still being determined and not all functionality mentioned above will necessarily be implemented.
