Crafting a seamless employee experience

Before Fortnox chose Typelane, employee onboarding was a manual process. The manual process created room for a lot of confusion, extra work, and frustration. In order to give new hires and managers the experience Fortnox wanted, they needed to rethink as well as streamline the employee onboarding process. “We wanted to be sure each new hire got a great onboarding experience. If we were to do it manually it would have been impossible” says Filip Schröder, HR specialist at Fortnox. By using Typelane, Fortnox was quickly able to get a better process in place.

“It is a much more stable, everyone feels more confident in the process now”

Onboarding as a competitive advantage

The effects of bad employee onboarding are costly and something Fortnox wanted to avoid. “We know that a bad onboarding can result in someone leaving, that is something we really want to prevent”, Filip Schröder explains.

The understanding of just how important a good onboarding is, made it clear for Fortnox that it could be a competitive advantage. “We strongly believe that good employee onboarding is a competitive advantage. An onboarding experience that doesn’t match up to the employer brand will result in talents looking for other opportunities.” says Filip Schröder.

“We know that a bad onboarding can result in someone leaving, that is something we really wanted to prevent”.

When Fortnox was looking to streamline their onboarding it was essential for them that the tool they choose was easy to use and to implement. That was exactly what they found with Typelane.

“It is so easy to use and to deploy. Most tools often need someone from HR, IT and a project manager. This was something we could use ourselves, instantly”.
