Inspiration

The inspiration for creating a strong and well-thought-out onboarding process is to avoid the negative consequences that can come from a poor onboarding process, such as high turnover rates, poor working relationships, inadequate training, and poor performance. The goal is to create a positive employee experience that leads to a happier and higher-performing organization. Specific opportunities for exploration include finding ways to welcome new interns in a remote way, measuring intern happiness, and finding ways for managers to gauge the level of happiness among interns.

What it does?

Our onboarding solution aims to improve the employee experience by addressing the issues that can arise from a poor onboarding process. We tried to address some of the issues like getting access of proper resources, knowing the teams in the organization, etc. by create an online portal.

How we built it?

We use Figma Tool for creating the prototype of an web-application.

Challenges we ran into

We were completely unfamilier with the Figma tool.

Understanding the interface: Figma has a unique interface that may take some time to get used to.
Collaboration features: Figma is a collaborative design tool, so understanding how to work with others in real-time was challenging.
Learning the design process: Figma is a powerful design tool that requires some understanding of design principles and processes.
Lack of Support to export to Code : We tried to export the code in React but we were unable to do it.
