One of Anthill’s customers, a professional staffing company, frequently encountered challenges during the onboarding process for new employees. The company aimed to enhance effective communication and feedback mechanisms to ensure a smooth transition for new hires. With the implementation of Anthill’s campaigns tool, the organization experienced a significant transformation in its onboarding and overall communication processes.
Challenges
The primary challenge faced by the company was ensuring effective communication and feedback during the onboarding process. Key leaders recognized that essential messages weren’t reaching all employees, impacting onboarding and engagement efforts. Additionally, the company needed a robust system to manage communication efficiently, especially during unexpected events like snowstorm or tornado, to ensure all employees were informed and engaged.
Solutions

By leveraging Anthill’s campaigns tool, the company initiated an onboarding campaign that provided new hires with easy access to onboarding information. Onboarding administrators could schedule text message reminders, which reduced onboarding issues and ultimately increased manager productivity and efficiency. This comprehensive approach enhanced new hire engagement from day one through consistent communication over their first 90 days.
Real-Time Feedback and Responsiveness:
Anthill’s tool facilitated an open line of communication, enabling the company to promptly address the new hire’s feedback. This responsiveness not only resolved the immediate concern but also fostered a culture of transparency and inclusivity. New employees felt heard and valued, significantly improving their onboarding experience.
Efficient Crisis Communication:
When an unexpected snowstorm forced the closure of the company’s facility, the need for swift and effective communication became critical. Using Anthill, the management team quickly disseminated closure information to all employees and managed real-time inquiries.
