- When you hover your mouse over the onboarding percentage, you'll see a note explaining it.

- Alternatively, to see the full onboarding list for your whole org, go to your org.
- Then tap: HRPeople
- And you'll see two onboarding percent columns.
- And finally, when you tap any of the yellow onboarding percentages, it takes you directly to that person's next onboarding task. Making it the easiest place to complete your org's onboarding to 100%.
You may notice:
- That the onboarding list for some people is different to others.
- Different employment types, for example contractors, ask for different kinds of info.
- As you answer questions about each new hire, the onboarding software intelligently works out which other steps and info need to be added or collected.
- As long as you get each person to 100% onboarded, you'll likely have all the employment info that's required.
