The Importance of a Good Onboarding Experience
Starting a new job can be both exciting and overwhelming. The transition period is crucial, and a well-structured onboarding process can make all the difference. At Skillwork, we understand the importance of a smooth and supportive onboarding experience, which is why we've invested significant resources into perfecting this process. Watch our latest Skillwork's Academy episode.
Why Onboarding Matters
A good onboarding experience sets the tone for an employee's journey within a company. It helps new hires understand the company's culture, values, and expectations. More importantly, it equips them with the necessary tools and knowledge to excel in their roles.
Research shows that effective onboarding can lead to higher job satisfaction, better job performance, and increased retention rates. According to a report by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), organizations with a standard onboarding process experience 50% greater new hire productivity and 50% higher retention rates among new employees.
Skillwork's Commitment to Excellence
Skillwork has always believed that our people are our greatest asset. We've built our onboarding process with this principle in mind, ensuring that every new team member feels welcomed, supported, and prepared from day one. Here’s how we make it happen:
Comprehensive Support System
From the moment you sign your contract, you're introduced to an Engagement Coordinator (EC). Your EC is more than just a point of contact—they are your mentor, advocate, and guide throughout your tenure with Skillwork. This personalized support ensures that you never feel alone or lost, no matter where your assignment takes you.
Streamlined Processes
We know that time is of the essence, especially when transitioning into a new role. Our onboarding process includes essential steps such as background checks, drug screenings, and housing arrangements, all handled efficiently by our expert team. By managing these tasks swiftly, we free you to focus on what you do best—your job.
Professional Excellence
At Skillwork, we pride ourselves on the caliber of professionals we have on our team. Our Engagement Coordinators, HR representatives, housing coordinators, and payroll specialists are all highly trained and dedicated to ensuring your success.

The Skillwork Advantage
Our commitment to a robust onboarding process extends beyond mere administrative tasks. We aim to create an environment where our skilled workers feel valued and supported. This means providing continuous training, fostering open communication, and maintaining a strong support network throughout your contract.
Tailored Housing Solutions
For those working away from home, our housing team plays a vital role in securing safe and comfortable accommodations. We understand the impact that a stable living situation can have on your performance and well-being. Our housing coordinators work closely with you to find options that meet your preferences and needs, ensuring a seamless transition to your new location.
Advanced Payroll and HR Systems
Managing your pay and benefits should never be a hassle. That’s why we use Paycom, an advanced online system that simplifies timekeeping, payroll, and HR tasks. With easy access via a mobile app, you can track your hours, view pay stubs, and manage direct deposit information with ease. Our payroll team is always available to assist with any questions or concerns, ensuring you’re always in control.
