No calendars. No spreadsheets. No one remembering to hit send.
Eight manual steps, or one data field.
HR has to…
- 1Remember the date
- 2Find the template
- 3Personalize it
- 4Send it
- 5Remind the manager
- 6Follow up
- 7Track completion
- 8Repeat for every new hire
…every time, for every hire, forever.
Two steps. That's it.
Nothing left to remember
You can see what landed — and follow up with who it didn't.
Every communication is measured: delivery, opens, clicks and completion. When someone doesn't engage, the follow-up happens on its own.

Channels available
Each communication can be delivered on the channel most likely to reach that person — and measured the same way everywhere.
The default channel for onboarding comms once accounts are live.
Reaches new hires before Day 1, before company access exists.
Where managers already work — ideal for check-in nudges.
For frontline and non-desk employees who rarely check email.
Start with the low-hanging fruit. Then keep building.
This journey creates the foundation. Once the core onboarding experience is automated, UNC Dairy can continue layering in personalization, feedback, learning, recognition and employee engagement.

HR remembers → creates → sends → follows up → tracks
Employee data changes → the experience happens automatically.
That's the whole workflow.
Start simple. Automate the basics. Then keep building the journey.
UNC Dairy can start with the communications that are easiest to automate today — and continuously evolve the experience as its onboarding strategy grows.
