Case study and rules

Employee onboarding
New employees face certain challenges right from when they accept an offer, till
about a quarter after joining. Many of these problems are ad-hoc, and the time it
takes to address them may vary from a minute to a month, which may leave a
long-term impact on the new employee. Moreover, data suggests that a great
employee onboarding experience can improve employee retention by 82%.

Viva Insights (MyAnalytics) wants to improve employee onboarding experience in

order to make it smoother for the new hire, the hiring manager, and the team.

Problem Statement
As a PM on Viva Insights team, ideate and define the most important features that
can enable hiring managers to offer a great onboarding experience to new
employees. Integrate the solution into Microsoft Teams since it is among the first
surfaces that is touched by the new employees.

*The goal is to focus on the non-admin chores. Background verification, laptop/desktop arrangement etc. are
NOT in scope for this case.
