| We strongly believe living in an open, flexible environment can help each employee to develop “at their best”. “How can the lack of an assigned place really help me ?”, you might think. Sure, but imagine a workplace where you are empowered to organize your daily activities according to your preferences or your mood, the nature of your tasks, the need of focus, with complete flexibility on where to settle, in dedicated areas, with diverse configurations, including Mobile & Hybrid working and paperless approach. Get close to your colleagues, your internal clients, your project teammates, being exposed to other Entities or leaders. |

| In line with the People Engagement Journey, Leaders are now fully in charge of their new team member’s onboarding experience - from the moment the new hire accepts the offer until they are fully onboarded in the job, the team and the Group. The collaboration between recruiters, hiring managers, Site HR, and HR Operations is crucial to ensure a smooth transition from recruitment to onboarding. An onboarding digital feature in MY HR Services is available to support leaders in organizing the arrival of their new team members and to welcome and engage new hires during their onboarding. HR Operations, Payroll, and Site HR users have access to the onboarding dashboard with various roles. - HR Operations takes the lead in hiring the employee after the recruiter confirms an offer acceptance and the candidate completes their onboarding information, forms and documents.
- Country Payroll teams complete & approve hiring information in Employee Central, hrX and Time Management App once they receive the notification.
- Site HR has visibility in the onboarding dashboard to follow up on the status of new joiner’s at their site and are responsible for compliance with local legislation and collection/processing of local forms until the progressive go-lives of country specific onboarding
- Site HR collaborates in collecting necessary documentation from new Joiners when Onboardings are manual (not through the Employee Central Dashboard).
Here you will find an HR User Guide with step by step instructions for My HR Services Onboarding.
*Note: From July 2023 onward, the Home Address and the corresponding required fields become mandatory for China Onboardees during Personal Data Collection. |

| name | Step 1 - Provide all of the information required to initiate onboarding |
|---|
| The first step for TA is to provide all of the information required to initiate the onboarding process before moving the candidate to "offer accepted". 1. Start date a. Must be accurate start date : last updated start date after offer negotiation. b. 15 business days are required between onboarding initiation and start date for a successful onboarding process i. Note: Can be shortened up to 10 business days if the manager commits to following up with the new hire to ensure onboarding tasks are completed rapidly c. Start date in the onboarding tool is retrieved from information entered during offer approval -> any change in the start date information happening after the approval of the offer should be shared as comments when the candidate is moved to the “offer accepted” step. d. For internal transfers: start date is always on the 1st of the month.
2. Offer information a. The offer letter must be managed in the recruiting tool. Required information for onboarding will be inserted based on information provided in the offer letter. If the offer is managed outside recruiting tool (exceptionally), upload the offer letter manually in the candidate’s file in the tool b. Ensure all offer information required for onboarding is present in the offer letter. In case of any information missing, add them as comments when moving to offer accepted. Following information are required for the onboarding process: i. Job grade ii. Salary iii. Contract type (If limited duration contract: duration and end date are required) iv. Start date v. Hiring Manager vi. Highlight if new joiner is a student or a trainee vii. Location (site) |

|---|
| 1. In the coming 5 days, candidate will receive an email with login information to access the onboarding platform. In case they don’t receive any email, candidate can introduce a ticket as explained below i. Note: the email can sometimes arrive in the spam, candidate should check their spam folder 2. Highlight the importance of completing their onboarding tasks as soon as possible i. Note: New hires have 2 tasks to complete in the onboarding portal. After completing the first one, a second one will become available. New hires are notified via email every time a new task is available for them to complete 3. In case of question or need for support: candidates can introduce a ticket via HR support request form. |

|---|
| 1. The hiring manager will receive an automatic email notification once onboarding has been initiated 2. The manager can follow up on the onboarding process of their new hire in the onboarding section of My HR Services 3. Start date should not be changed after onboarding has been initiated, changing the start date can create major complications in the onboarding process i. Note: In exceptional cases, and under valid circumstances, a change of start date can be requested using the SyRa Onboarding request 4. It is critical that managers request IT access and equipment using the Onboarding - IT Equipment & Access request ASAP and no later than 7 days before 1st working day (request for their new hire becomes available 24 hrs after onboarding initiation) 5. In case of questions or need for support, managers can request support via SyRa onboarding request. 6. Hiring managers can consult the HR Wiki onboarding information for support. |

| name | What to do when the start date of an employee changes during the onboarding process? |
|---|
| After a candidate has accepted an offer and starts the onboarding process, it happens that the hiring start date is changing. The manager shares this information potentially with multiple actors: - the local HR -> who also usually informs payroll
- the recruiter
- the HR OPs team
The information of a new start date, after the onboarding was initiated, needs to be shared to the Workforce Data Admin (WDA) team by the Manager so that they can correct it either in the Onboarding module (if the ONB process is still in progress), or in Employee Central (if the ONB process was already completed).
WHAT TO DOWhenever you are informed that the start date has changed and needs to be corrected, please inform the Manager that they must submit a ticket to the People Services SyRa > Catalog > Human Resources > Onboarding service request and provide the employee's name and new start date. |
