Onboarding

Day one, done properly.

Onboarding inside Compono Develop carries the induction path, the first-week learning, the compliance modules and the in-person sign-offs, assigned by role, the way an onboarding system should. It also connects to the fit profile from the hire, so a manager knows the person walking in. If document collection is the whole job, an HRIS module will do.

How it shows up for onboarding

A new starter collecting a pass at reception on their first morning

The first month decides whether they stay

A new starter forms a view of the place in the first fortnight, usually from how organised it was and whether anyone knew they were coming. Almost nothing about that experience is designed, and all of it is remembered.

Only 12% of employees strongly agree their organisation does a great job of onboarding new people.

Time to productivity is a guess

The manager thinks it is a month, the team knows it is three, and the business has no measure either way. So onboarding gets shortened whenever the roster is tight, which makes the number worse.

Onboarding has turned into paperwork

Forms, a statement, a policy pack and a folder of PDFs, then a buddy who is already flat out. The compliance obligations are met and the person still does not know how the work is done here.

Every new employee has to be given the Fair Work Information Statement before they start or as soon as practicable after, which is the floor rather than an onboarding program.

The manager never sees what the hiring process learned

Hiring produced a detailed read on how this person works and what the team was short of. The manager who now has to lead them was never shown any of it, so week one starts from zero.

Gallup estimates managers account for at least 70% of the variance in engagement scores between business units, and they are the person handed the least information on day one.

Everything a good system tracks.
And what only Compono finds.

Compono Develop

Onboarding inside a learning management system (LMS)

Like any LMSInduction tasks, documents, sign-offs and start dates
And what only Compono findsWhether the new starter is capable yet

Develop runs onboarding the way a learning management system should. Build an induction pathway per role, then assign it by group so a new starter in one site gets a different first week from one in another. Online learning and in-person tasks sit in the same path, so a supervisor sign-off is recorded next to a completed module. Follow-ups and recertification are automated, certificates are generated, and the record stays with the person. Because assessment sits inside the pathway, you also get a read on whether they are capable yet.

Compono Hire

The profile that walks in with them from the applicant tracking system (ATS)

Like any ATSThe application, the offer and the start date
And what only Compono findsWork personality, motivations and fit, already on file

Hire hands across the hiring record any applicant tracking system holds: the application, the offer and the start date. Because the hire happened in Compono Hire, the work personality, motivations and fit read come with it. The manager gets the profile of the person joining their team, which is the difference between managing a stranger and managing a known quantity.

Compono Engage

The team read an employee engagement platform gives a new manager

Like any engagement platformSurvey campaigns, response rates and team rosters
And what only Compono findsWhich of the 8 types of work the team is short of

Engage runs the engagement survey any employee engagement platform runs, by team and by location. It also shows the work personalities already in the team and which of the 8 key types of work are thin. On day one that tells a manager where the new starter fits, what to hand them first, and which conflicts to head off early.

Wherever you operate

Written for a new starter in Australia or New Zealand, and it works the same way for one in London or Auckland.

What it is	Australia and New Zealand	Everywhere else
Induction obligations	Work health and safety induction and site-specific training assigned before the first shift, with the completion recorded	Statutory induction training in the United Kingdom, or OSHA orientation in the United States, handled the same way
Clearances on day one	A Working with Children Check, a first-aid certificate or a licence recorded as a competency with its expiry date	A DBS check in the United Kingdom, or a state background check in the United States, recorded the same way
Handover to your other systems	Employee records, contracts and pay setup stay in the system you already run for them. Single sign-on connects to your identity provider, and any other integration is scoped per customer	The same handover applies wherever your payroll runs
Where your data sits	Built and hosted in Australia and New Zealand, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, with single sign-on	Data is hosted in Australia and New Zealand wherever your team sits

One platform, one engine.

Common questions

It is onboarding inside a learning management system (LMS), which is why it holds the first week and the next twelve months. Compono Develop runs the induction pathway, the mandatory modules, the refreshers and the ongoing learning on the same record.

No. Contracts, employee records and pay setup belong in the system you already run for them, and offer documents with optional e-signature sit in Compono Hire. Single sign-on connects to your identity provider, any other integration is scoped per customer, and /partners lists what we connect to today.

Yes, when the person was hired through Compono Hire. The work personality, motivations and fit read are already in the platform, so the manager sees who is joining and what the team was short of before the first day rather than after the first month.

Hire captures application documents and sends offers with optional e-signature. Your employee file stays where it is today. Develop holds learning materials, completions, assessment results and certificates. If one place for signed contracts is the requirement, that is the system holding your employee records.

A pathway with what to do next, in order, on any device. Online modules, documents to read, events to attend and in-person tasks their supervisor signs off, with their own work personality insights from the application still available to them.

Yes. Develop runs onboarding on its own, and plenty of customers start there. What you lose is the fit profile walking in with the person, which is the part that makes a manager's first week different.

Develop is priced by size band like the rest of the platform. For a team under 100, one product is circa $5.5k to $6.5k AUD a year. From 100 to 500 people it runs circa $7k to $13k AUD a year depending on the band.

Head office is Brisbane, with offices in Christchurch, London and New York. Data is hosted in Australia and New Zealand wherever your team sits, and the platform is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, with single sign-on. A work health and safety induction is assigned the same way as statutory induction training in the United Kingdom, so a new starter in either place gets one pathway.
