Tasks and resources serve as the building blocks of a new hire's journey. A task signifies any essential action or requirement the new hire must complete. Tasks are diligently monitored, with regular reminders ensuring new hires stay on track throughout the process. Completion of tasks occurs once new hires take the necessary action assigned to them.
Alternatively, resources are supplementary content to be provided as an additional benefit to the candidate.
The interchangeability of tasks and resources may vary depending on your organization's unique needs and structure. Please refer to the following guide as a starting point to generate ideas for your programs:
