Onboarding new employees should feel organized, consistent, and professional. Instead, many organizations rely on scattered spreadsheets, email reminders, and manual checklists that waste time and create unnecessary friction. In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to replace that chaos with a structured, automated onboarding solution built entirely with SharePoint and Power Automate. Rather than discussing theory, we build a working solution from start to finish.
You’ll design and configure three connected SharePoint lists:
- Onboarding Checklist – A master task library with role-based and location-specific tasks
- New Hire Tracker – A centralized record of employees entering the organization
- New Hire Assignments – Individualized task records generated automatically
Then, you’ll create a Power Automate flow that connects everything together. When a new employee is added to the tracker, the flow automatically:
- Generates personalized onboarding tasks
- Assigns responsibilities to the correct stakeholders
- Calculates due dates based on start date
- Filters assignments so each user sees only their own tasks
By the end of this course, you will have built a complete, automated onboarding system that:
- Eliminates repetitive manual work
- Improves visibility and accountability
- Reduces onboarding errors and missed tasks
- Scales across departments and locations
- Demonstrates real business value using the Power Platform
This course is ideal for SharePoint site owners, Power Platform developers, HR technologists, and IT professionals who want to move beyond theory and build a practical, production-ready solution.
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way to manage onboarding,” this is where you build it.
