AugmentHR has developed a complete employee handbook, which has been legally reviewed, and can be customized to fit your organization's culture and industry. We can perform an audit of your current policy manual and add or update the content so that they are aligned with current legislation or changes in the business.


    Some of our clients opt to use our subscription service to keep their employee handbook current with ever-changing federal, provincial & local requirements.

  • Onboarding Surveys

    With so much on a new hire's plate when they join your company, an onboarding survey provides a systemized way to check in with people. It also gives you valuable information about the new hire experience that you can use to improve onboarding. With all that on the line, knowing the right questions to ask is important.


    The survey links are sent out to each new employee at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months from the employee's hire date.Once the survey is completed, it is sent to the hiring manager (and HR if applicable) with results and recommendations.


    Each of the survey touch points asks specific questions related to where they are in the onboarding process.


    Survey Question Examples:

    • 6 weeks - Is the job what you expected? Do you have a copy of your job description?
    • 3 months - Have you received the training that you need in your role? Have you received performance feedback?
    • 6 months - How would you rate your relationship with your manager? Do you feel recognized for your contributions?
