Mastering the employee onboarding puzzle: best practices for automation, security and retaining talent - interview with Frank Iannelli of Canyou

Straight Up Small Business

Employee onboarding can be a daunting and time-consuming process for small business owners. From collecting new employees’ forms, licenses and certificates to storing them in a secure place, this procedure can also be overwhelming - particularly for small businesses that don't have a dedicated HR department.

Today I sit down with Frank Iannelli of Canyou, an innovative app that presents a masterful solution for automation, security and retaining talent.

​

Frank is a passionate software developer with a deep understanding of the impact of technology on small businesses. His love for technology and its practical applications in small businesses drove him to help automate business processes for SMEs in Australia every day.

While assisting a small business in transitioning from a traditional bricks-and-mortar model to an online presence, Frank was faced with the lengthy administrative process of bringing on new staff. He immediately knew there had to be a better way, and after failing to find an app that could help streamline this task, he decided to build one himself.

Knowing we live in an age where we continue to face higher risks of sensitive information breaches, Frank and I discuss the importance of ensuring clients’ or employees’ particulars are kept safe. He describes how Canyou is the safe alternative to email in how it encrypts and secures data being sent between employers, employees and bookkeepers.

Frank discusses the challenge employers face in the current climate of retaining quality staff, and how creating a positive onboarding experience for new team members can be a key differentiator. For example, with a focus on the user experience, Canyou’s QR code feature ensures an easy, streamlined process for new employees, bypassing the need to download an app.

​

As a business owner with a busy schedule myself, I’ve personally found this comprehensive, time-saving app to be an absolute game-changer. If you’re a small business owner looking to customise, automate and streamline your HR processes, I urge you to dive into this episode and hear all about the amazing things Canyou is helping it's customers achieve.
