Preboarding is the process that occurs before a new hire officially starts. It focuses on informing and preparing the employee so they feel welcome and ready for their new role.

Why is preboarding important for my company?

Preboarding helps keep new hires engaged and informed, and prevents no-shows. With Appical, you can for example share first-day information, have documents signed, and even provide a virtual tour.

How can Appical help improve preboarding?

Our software ensures new hires have access to essential information and training before their first day, enabling them to start confidently and relieve stress for the first working day.
