Three Steps for a Successful Onboarding or Exit Survey 

There are three essential steps to follow which are explained in detail below. In short, they are as follows:

First, make sure that your employee data contains the required information. 

Second, create your Onboarding or Exit survey.

Third, view the results.


 
1. Managing employee data 

When using data integration, you do not have to upload your employee data manually. However, Effectory needs the correct information for identifying the employees who should receive the Onboarding or Exit survey. Therefore, please check if the following column is part of the integration: the onboarding date or exit date in the following way: dd-mm-yyyy.  
 

When using employee management, you need to make sure that you include the following columns in your file that are necessary to run your Onboarding or Exit survey successfully:

  • Unique ID +  email address
  • Onboarding or exit yes/no: Mark a new or leaving colleague with ‘yes’
  • Onboarding or exit group: number + month + year (for example, 01. January 2023, 02. February 2023, 03. March 2023, etc.)

By implementing the columns mentioned above, the new data is automatically linked to your account's onboarding or exit project. Make sure you add relevant employees at least 12 hours before the survey starts. 
 
Set the participant filter to: Onboarding = yes or Exit = yes

When you create an organizational structure, select the following two columns: Entire organization + Onboarding group or Exit group.
