What is employee onboarding software?
Employee onboarding software turns the work around a new starter into a repeatable, dated journey. In HollyHR, HR or a System Admin builds reusable onboarding packs, assigns each step to the starter, manager, HR, payroll or IT, then launches the right pack from the person's start date.
The starter sees personal actions and live progress, while the people supporting them see only the journeys connected to them. Document tasks use the existing requirement record, and right-to-work onboarding separates evidence provided by the starter from the employer decision recorded by HR.
For small UK teams that want a repeatable onboarding process with clear owners, dates and progress.
From reusable pack to day-one progress
Start with the right pack and people
Choose an active onboarding pack, the new starter and the relevant owners. HollyHR turns each offset into a real due date from the person's start date.
- Reusable packs with up to 80 typed steps
- Starter, manager, HR, payroll and IT owners
- Dates before, on or after the start date
Give each person a useful view
The starter sees their own actions. Managers and task owners see only connected journeys, while HR and System Admins can follow organisation progress and needs-attention work.
- Personal action list for the starter
- Completed, overdue and needs-attention states
- Automatic reminders for defined task states
Keep required evidence in the right workflow
Document tasks use the existing company requirement record. For right to work, the starter provides evidence and an authorised HR role records the employer's decision.
- One live status for linked document work
- Right-to-work evidence up to 10 MB
- Evidence provided by the starter; employer decision recorded by HR

Questions about onboarding
What is employee onboarding software?
Employee onboarding software turns the work around a new starter into a repeatable, dated journey. In HollyHR, you publish a reusable pack, launch it for the starter and keep the owners, dates and progress together.
Does HollyHR have reusable onboarding checklists?
Yes. HollyHR calls them onboarding packs. A pack can contain profile, meeting, payroll, equipment and training tasks, linked document requirements and the paired right-to-work steps. Publish it once and launch it for each starter.
Can onboarding tasks have owners and dates?
Yes. Assign a task to the starter, their manager, HR, payroll or IT, and set its due date before, on or after the start date. HollyHR calculates the actual date when the journey launches.
Can a new starter complete onboarding before day one?
Yes, when an authorised creator deliberately allows audited pre-start login. Otherwise future starters default to invited, non-default access, with an optional welcome email scheduled for 09:00 on that date.
Who can see a new starter's onboarding journey?
HR and System Admins can manage organisation onboarding. A selected manager or task owner sees only the journeys connected to them, and the starter sees only their own assigned actions. Future starters remain hidden from ordinary team views before they start.
How does right-to-work onboarding work?
The starter uploads supported evidence of up to 10 MB, then HR or a System Admin records Verified or Needs attention. HollyHR keeps the evidence and decision workflow clear, but it does not perform the statutory check for the employer.
Does HollyHR send onboarding reminders?
Yes. Automatic reminders help with upcoming, overdue and needs-attention work. They follow those defined states rather than creating a separate, configurable reminder workflow.
How much does onboarding cost with HollyHR?
Onboarding is included in HollyHR's core product. Free is £0 for up to 10 active employees counted for billing.
