How to create a better preboarding experience with Mainstay:

Preboarding

Eliminate "ghosting" by engaging frontline workers before day one

Starting a new job often brings a flurry of activities that can leave workers feeling overwhelmed and under-supported. Clear, succinct communication makes all the difference between a successful onboarding and a no-show.

That’s why preboarding is the ideal time to begin building strong relationships with your new hires using conversational and empathetic 2-way text messaging.

Engaging new hires before their start date enables you to create a rapport and strengthen your frontline workers’ commitment to the job before they even start. Mainstay’s text messages are also shown to reduce no-shows up to 40%. When done right, preboarding accelerates ramp-up time for new hires, so they’ll be able to contribute even faster.
