Zonos is a software company headquartered in St. George, Utah, whose software allows businesses to automate the complexities of international e-commerce. This includes automating the calculation, collection, and remittance of duties and taxes.

The software company makes it easy for international shoppers to make purchases on websites with language and currency localization and the ability to prepay duties and taxes. Zonos also automates cross-border compliance and HS code generation.

Although the company strived to improve their customers’ international shopping experience, they faced challenges when getting these clients up and running with their software. Especially those with complex software integrations that varied in requirements. 

The previous system Zonos used for their customer onboarding was clunky and lacked the flexibility they needed, making the experience cumbersome and inefficient. This prompted Zonos to seek a more dynamic and user-friendly solution. That solution turned out to be Process Street.

In this case study, we’re covering:

• Challenges faced by Zonos 
• Benefits gained by implementing Process Street
• Results: How Process Street transformed Zonos’ onboarding process

Mentoring new employees can be tricky.

Think back to a time when you stepped into unfamiliar territory. Can you remember how intimidating it was? That’s the dilemma each new employee faces. 

They need to acclimatize to a new culture, a new team, a new role, and new responsibilities. It’s daunting having to walk into an environment where everyone except you knows what they’re doing. 

Mentors are responsible for offering a support base for the new hire to get settled in their role quicker. These mentors use their past experiences to offer sound guidance, helping build the new employee’s confidence and skills from the get-go. 

Mentoring new employees happens during onboarding, but how can you make the most of it? In this Process Street post, I’m taking you through the mentoring program and how it can be your secret weapon to reduce new hire churn. 

• Why mentoring is important in the workplace 
• Investing in a mentoring plan for new employees
• How to make the most out of training and mentoring new employees
• The role Process Street plays in mentoring your new employees

Glassdoor reports effective employee onboarding increases retention by 82%.

“Organizations with a strong onboarding process improve new hire retention by 82% and productivity by over 70%”

Now consider the cost of hiring a new employee is between ~6-9 months salary (the average salary for a customer success manager in the U.S. is ~$85,000 annually). When you do the math, it becomes clear how costs start to rack up.

If you’re a SaaS company dedicated to growth and gaining a competitive edge, this is an unnecessary cost that every team, including your customer success team, should avoid.

One of the best ways to improve retention is by focusing on your employee onboarding. That’s what we’re going to look at in this Process Street article.

We’ll explain how we, along with Salesforce, Netflix, and Intercom, onboard our customer success managers.

And if you’re going to invest in onboarding, making sure your customer success managers are onboarded effectively is a good way to effectively hit two birds with one stone. Your CSMs are in charge of customer onboarding, so by providing a solid employee onboarding foundation to orient them, you’re also laying the foundation for a solid system of client onboarding.

By the end of this article, you’ll have learned the 16 employee onboarding best practices used by these top 4 international tech companies. Although these onboarding best practices are specific to a customer success manager role, they’re applicable across most business departments.

• Why onboarding is important for retention

In this post, I’m going to define and explain the benefits of employee onboarding, then give you access to six employee onboarding checklists.

Use them on their own or import into Process Street, so you can track and automate the work in Slack or Microsoft Teams.

Why checklists?

Well, checklists are the most popular way to onboard new employees, and that’s for a good reason.

Checklists help you to follow a process, make sure you don’t neglect anything important and stay compliant.

Instead of making you write your own, you can use one of the 6 we’ve prepared for you as a basis, and either take it as it is or modify it for your business.

Reported by Dr. John Sullivan, recruiting advisor and professor of human relations, the statistics show that:

• 50 percent of new hires are fired or quit during their first six months
• 40 percent of new CEOs fail in their first 18 months
• Up to 60 percent of new management employees fail during their first 18 months

For too many companies, the recruiting process has become expensive causing lost revenue and damaging to company morale.

Luckily, a new employee onboarding process flow can prevent such mistakes from occurring.

If you’re looking to put your best foot forward in making new hires feel welcome, a new employee onboarding checklist can do the trick.
