University of Central Florida
Candida Richards, Associate Director of Talent Development
The University of Central Florida faced a common challenge: creating a consistent, engaging onboarding experience for the hundreds of employees they hire annually across diverse roles.
[00:00:12 - The Challenge] "Our current challenge with new employee orientation is that there isn't a unified experience across the university. What drew us to a digital experience is to move away from the in-person, facilitated printed version of materials that we used previously."
[00:00:31 - The Solution] UCF partnered with Advantage Design Group to implement the HR Engage platform, delivering comprehensive digital transformation. "The Advantage HR Engage platform offers interactive videos, quizzes, and survey functionality, FAQs, and a unified experience that is engaging, offering employees a more interactive look and feel customizable for future use, and delivering the onboarding experience digitally."
[00:00:58 - Platform Benefits] The platform's accessibility and user-friendly design were key factors in its success. "The platform is ADA-compliant and offers content in a table of contents format where users can click through in a very simple way. The client has access and control over the content and can edit on the fly all of the information at their fingertips."
[00:01:16 - Partnership Experience] Beyond the technology, UCF praises the collaboration itself. "The Advantage team provides project management practices, strong relationship management, and a seamless experience from end to end for the entire project. The team assisted us throughout the technology integration as well as developing the content to be ready and on time for our launch."
[00:01:34 - Results & Recommendation] Now UCF has a more streamlined and flexible approach, "offering not only the in-person sessions, but leveraging the platform for tools and resources on demand throughout their journey." Their advice for other organizations: "Start with the Advantage Design Group."
