What is onboarding in Huma?

All users can edit any task they are responsible for/assigned, without having a specific role. And they will receive notifications (email/push) from Huma as well based on their preferences.

Who has access to the onboarding overview?

Like all modules in Huma, the onboarding module is role- and access-controlled. This means you see what you are supposed to see. 

Users with the Onboarding permission in a User Role can create, manage, and view onboarding processes for new hires they are responsible for.

For example:

  • A manager for the Oslo location can create, view, and manage all onboarding processes and tasks for new hires in Oslo.
  • A manager with organization-wide access can create, view, and manage onboarding processes for new hires across all teams and locations.

In a addition to that the Users permission in a System role can:

  • Start and manage onboarding.
  • See all ongoing onboarding processes and connected tasks

Who can create and manage onboarding templates?

  • Users with a "System role" with "Full access to onboarding, offboarding and processes" can add, update and delete templates.
  • Users with a "System role" with "Full access to Users" can start, manage and delete onboarding, offboardings and processes.
  • Users with a "User role" with "Full access to on- and offboarding" can start, archive and delete on- and offboarding for members. 

Who receives notifications?

If you are assigned a task, you will receive a notification.

How many onboardings can be started?

In Huma Enterprise, you can start as many onboardings as you want and create multiple templates. In the Business package, there are some limitations.
