We’ll dive into the details of these employee onboarding features below.

Hub for internal content

When you’re onboarding a new employee, you don’t want to overwhelm them with emails, attachments, instant messages, printed information, in-person training sessions, or phone calls. Presenting information in too many different forms and locations makes it harder to absorb and keep track of for future reference. Pinnacle Series supports custom content, so you can upload training videos, documents, workflows, guidelines, and everything you need for employee onboarding in one easy-to-find place.

Personalized learning paths

It can be challenging to get an exact idea of what skillset a new employee brings to your organization. Which software and skills do they know at a high level, and where could they benefit from some additional training? We’ve got it covered. Pinnacle Series has a partnership with KnowledgeSmart, which allows employees to take assessments on essential AEC software programs like AutoCAD, Revit, BIM, and others. Those results are then used to generate personalized training plans, including Pinnacle content to improve their skills without wasting time re-learning things they know.

Managed assignments

Administrators in Pinnacle can easily monitor the progress of employee onboarding and training, assign courses and learning paths, and optionally choose due dates for assignments. This makes it easy for managers to keep track of where everyone is in their training, especially if you’re onboarding multiple employees at the same time.

Access from anywhere

In today’s modern world, employees can be scattered around the country, working from home locally, traveling to various offices, and so on. Pinnacle Series makes employee onboarding easy, even when you’re handling it remotely. Once you’ve added the new employee as a user, they can access their content from anywhere and even download it to their PC or mobile device to take on the go.

Work Groups for teams/projects

As your new employees get used to working with their teams at your organization, Pinnacle’s Work Groups feature makes it easy to loop them into projects. Work Groups allow you to house project-specific information and communication in one place, so it’s all there for the latest team member to catch up on.

Reduced future need for onboarding

Hiring and employee onboarding is a great thing when you need to expand your team as your company grows. However, if you’re doing it because you need to replace employees who are leaving, the question becomes how to reduce employee turnover.
