The growth in the employee onboarding software market is advancing due to the escalating trend of remote work. Remote working constitutes a mode of operation where tasks are carried out outside the conventional office premises, predominantly from home. This trend is driven by the need for enhanced flexibility, improved work-life equilibrium, and the prospects of heightened productivity and cost-effectiveness. Employers use onboarding software to facilitate an entirely digital onboarding process, from form-filling to training. This is particularly beneficial for remote employees who may otherwise be required to partake in physical onboarding sessions. According to a report published by the U.S. telecommunications firm AT&T in February 2022, the proportion of companies shifting to a hybrid approach involving a combination of remote and office-based work is expected to see an increase from 42% in 2021 to 81% in 2024. Therefore, this growing propensity toward remote working is fueling the expansion of the employee onboarding software market.
