Questions
What is an employee onboarding knowledge base?
A place where everything a new hire needs lives as pages: policies, tools, who to ask. With Kipwise the agent answers new hires' questions from it in Slack.
How do I make sure new hires read the important pages?
Make them must-reads. The people you name are told and you see who has read them.
Can it post a welcome message?
Yes. Ask it to post a welcome on the start date and a check-in on Friday. You approve each schedule once.
Does it replace a manager?
No. It answers what is written down, shows the page, and says so when it cannot find an answer.
