Manage new hire's onboarding progress

See how to check new hire progress, fix issues, resend links, and update onboarding tasks in Workstream.

Updated today

Once a new hire’s onboarding has started, you can use the Onboarding tab in Team View to see how they’re doing and manage any issues.

As a manager, you can:

  • Check where each new hire is in the process

  • Fix issues the system flags

  • Resend onboarding links if someone gets stuck

  • Restart specific tasks if information needs updating

  • Restart, stop, or switch the onboarding process if needed

The steps differ depending on your version:

  • Classic version: Has a dedicated Onboarding tab.

  • New version: Onboarding is part of the Team tab.


Track onboarding progress

You can track a new hire’s onboarding progress to see which tasks are completed and pending.

Classic version

  1. Find the new hire

    1. In Team View, go to Onboarding.

    2. Select Overview, then go to the In progress list.

    3. Find the employee you want to review, then select View tasks.

  2. Track task completion

    • The employee’s onboarding progress is shown as a list of tasks (e.g., Basic Information, I-9, Payment Method).

    • Each task displays its current status: Completed, In progress, or Waiting.

    • You can see both the new hire’s tasks and your own tasks under separate tabs.

New version

    1. In Team View, go to Team.

    2. Go to the Onboarding tab, then select the In progress list.

    1. Select View tasks in the Action column to drill down into details.

Sometimes a new hire will have an Attention label that needs action before they can finish onboarding. To quickly find issues:

  1. Use the Attentions filter in the Onboarding tab.

  2. Select the issue type (e.g., Employment Setup).

  3. Review the flagged hire’s tasks and fix the missing item.


Resend onboarding link

If a new hire hasn’t started onboarding or lost their link, you can resend it.

If incorrect details were entered (for example, wrong SSN or a document needs to be re-signed), you can restart a task.
