Goal Of Integrating GoLinks <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DoiT International\u2019s company values of entrepreneurial attitude, continuous learning, and transparency are core to how the staff performs their daily work. As a highly technical company, it is essential that engineers can function autonomously as teams in different time zones through documentation and GoLinks serves as the connector to support their knowledge sharing culture. Documentation and other knowledge were scattered throughout different drives in the company, the goal for using Golinks was to consolidate all knowledge into one easy-to-use platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoLinks was first used heavily by the engineering team and consulting orgs. The engineering team<\/a> first leveraged GoLinks to improve their documentation and make resources quickly accessible. As the company expanded, GoLinks was integrated into other departments as a key function, and to help improve the employee experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DoiT International wants to keep their entire company connected as they focus on global expansion whilst delivering a great employee experience. GoLinks Enterprise allows DoiT International to quickly scale their user base as they hire more staff, and allows for additional seats as they continue hiring in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of improving the DoiT International employee experience was in regard to onboarding new hires, and increasing employee referrals. Kristen says \u201cWe grew up together\u201d and when onboarding new hires remotely<\/a>, DoiT made the choice to lean hard into GoLinks. Kristen cites GoLinks as a factor in the company\u2019s success during the pandemic. \u201cIf you are not using GoLinks, then I don\u2019t know how you are doing this well\u2026I don\u2019t know why you wouldn\u2019t have it as part of your employee experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onboarding New Hires: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At DoiT International, Kristen and her team cite that the first 90 days of a new hire\u2019s journey are critical for setting the tone of future experience. The company loves GoLinks\u2019 simplicity in getting staff quickly up to speed. Kristen describes it to new hires as \u201cthe spider-web that connects information to every organization\u201d and says they \u201cinstantly get it.\u201d “It\u2019s \u201cabsolutely something that augments the availability of someone that sits next to you. GoLinks is having a quarterback that tells you how to get to what you need.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each new hire is automatically given a GoLinks account, during their onboarding process the HR team monitors staff\u2019s GoLinks usage and does check-ins to see that they\u2019re given access to their track. This happens in a 2-part process: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The new hire is given access to GoLinks and many of their first touchpoints with company tools are through go links. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Managers and GoLinks admins monitor usage to determine which resources are being commonly used and what additional go links need to be created (they can find alternate phrases via top missed links.) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Another key hallmark of the product is that it helps cut the training down. This is critical at a global company like DoiT International, where departments are located in different time zones\u2013GoLinks helps to simplify the training process with top go links such as: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
