Build an internal assistant for rules and onboarding
Employees ask an internal assistant about manuals, rules and onboarding instead of searching for ages
Fits: Leaders & strategy · Customer service · HR · Legal & compliance · IT & software development · Office, administration & casework · Production, engineering & maintenance · Logistics & warehousing · Health & care · Teaching & education
New and experienced colleagues find the answer to “How do we do this here?” in seconds, with a link to the applicable rule. HR, IT and team leads get fewer repeat questions.
Is this for you?
- Your rules, manuals and onboarding materials are available digitally, scattered across several storage locations.
- The same questions come up again and again, especially in new people's first weeks.
- Someone is willing to tidy up the documents and keep them up to date.
Take two or three non-confidential documents, such as the travel expenses policy and the onboarding plan, and use the template below to ask five typical questions new people would ask. Watch whether every answer has a source reference and whether the assistant admits when something is not in the documents.
How to go about it
- Choose the documents the assistant may know
- Remove outdated versions and add the version date
- Connect the assistant to the approved storage location
- Test with real questions from onboarding
- Release it to everyone and explain it
- Review unanswered and wrongly answered questions
