In onboarding, what should you automate and what should stay human?
Automate the predictable and repetitive: reminders, setup nudges, progress tracking, scheduling, and the standard check-ins that happen at the same moments for everyone. Keep humans on judgement and relationship: the kickoff, reading a worried stakeholder, reshaping the plan when things change, and celebrating the first win. Automation should remove busywork so your people spend time where trust is won.
