Acquired Employee Onboarding From the Acquisition Date
Use the acquisition date as the event that triggers targeted emails and onboarding tasks for acquired employees. ChangeEngine can bring the audience in from your HRIS or another system, pre-schedule the workflow, and include managers, so you aren't asking on the day whether you sent the message.
You can integrate directly with your HRIS or other systems where acquired employee data lives, upload those employees into ChangeEngine, and send them targeted communications just as you would with your employees.
How Do You Find the Right Acquired Employees?
Data from your HRIS or another system gives ChangeEngine the audience for acquired-employee communications. You don't have to work out who needs to hear from you or which employees came through the acquisition.
Managers can be copied too. In the on-screen example, ChangeEngine sends to the Manager connection for people in the New Starters (incl. upcoming) segment.
How Does the Acquisition Date Trigger the Workflow?
ChangeEngine can automate an orchestrated workflow from the acquisition date, starting with the announcement and continuing through tasks that can differ from standard new-hire onboarding. Emails can then go out after the acquisition start date, giving each person the right message at the right time.
The example journey starts on day zero with the acquisition announcement. It follows with a welcome and what changes on day one, new tools and logins in week one, benefits elections in week two, a manager CC check-in in week four, and an integration survey on day 90.
ChangeEngine lets you pre-schedule messages or trigger them from a specific event. The product example shows a communication scheduled 10 days before an event at 08:00 AM in each recipient's local time, while the timeline shows communications 14 days before start_date.
This replaces the day-of scramble over whether you sent the message. New hires aren't the only people with tasks. Acquired employees have tasks too.
Frequently asked questions
How can I trigger onboarding messages for acquired employees?
Use the acquisition date as the event. ChangeEngine can pre-schedule emails after that date and trigger communications from the event, so each person gets the right message at the right time. The on-screen journey also includes manager communications and an integration survey.
What can differ from standard new-hire onboarding?
Acquired employees can receive tasks that differ from standard new-hire onboarding. ChangeEngine can place those tasks in the workflow that begins when the acquisition is announced. The example journey covers a welcome explaining what changes, new tools and logins, benefits elections, a manager check-in, and an integration survey.
