Use the library pack content for the following purposes.

### Providing onboarding visibility

The **Employee onboarding** live dashboard is the central entry point of this library pack.\
It provides an end-to-end view of the onboarding journey, from day one readiness to early feedback.

From the **Overview** tab, you can:

* Monitor the number of **new employees** over time.
* Analyze distribution by **department** and **city**.
* Review onboarding-focused **DEX scores**, such as **Overall DEX score** and **Workday DEX score**.
* Track onboarding sentiment through **Welcome campaign – Reach** and **Onboarding NPS**.

This visibility helps you quickly understand whether new joiners are starting with the right conditions.

### Measuring guide and application adoption

The **Application adoption** tab helps you understand how new employees engage with onboarding guidance and key applications.

You can use it to:

* Measure **employees engaged** and **guides started**.
* Review **engagement**, **completion rate**, and **drop rate**, where available.
* Analyze **guide duration** to understand effort and friction.
* Track trends using **Daily active users** and **Guides started** over time.

This data helps you assess whether onboarding guidance is effective and where users may drop off.

### Detecting technical onboarding blockers

The **Technical** tab helps you identify common technical issues that delay or block onboarding.

Depending on your configuration, you can monitor:

* Secure access readiness, such as **Zscaler installation** and **failed authentication**.
* Compliance with required **browser plugins**.
* Performance of key onboarding applications, such as **page load times** for **Workday** pages.

This view allows you to detect problems early and act before they impact productivity.

### Supporting remediation and improvement

The library pack is designed to be highly configurable.\
You can adapt it to your environment by replacing examples such as **Workday** or **Zscaler** with your own HR platforms, secure access tools, and technical checks.

Where needed, you can:

* Trigger targeted **campaigns** to guide new joiners.
* Use **remote actions** or **workflows** to automate remediation.
* Refine onboarding steps based on technical health, adoption metrics, and **NPS feedback**.

This continuous loop helps improve onboarding over time.
