Project Name: Onboarding for nationwide employees

Departments: Human Resources, IT

Budget: $48,500

At our work, it was planned to make onboarding a priority for new employees. The process would be done online, since many of our workers telecommute. The plan was to set up the system, so new employees could provide their tax information, proof of citizenship, and other legal forms filed. Additionally, the project would include creating a new employee orientation and a handbook that could be saved and printed if the employee wanted to keep it.

The project costs were not to exceed the budgeted $48,500, as per the IT department estimates.
