Use Case: Cross-Industry
Accelerated Employee Onboarding
Onboarding isn't just about welcoming new employees — it's about getting them compliant and productive as quickly as possible. SHIELD ensures new hires meet compliance standards from day one. EXCEED delivers personalized learning that closes skill gaps fast.
Why Onboarding Breaks Down
Most onboarding programs fail to make new hires productive quickly — and even fewer make them compliant.
Slow Time-to-Productivity
New hires take months to ramp because training is generic, untracked, and disconnected from real role expectations.
Compliance Gaps from Day One
Mandatory training is missed or delayed. Auditors find evidence months later — when it's too late to fix.
Wasted Onboarding Investment
Companies spend heavily on onboarding programs but can't measure proficiency or prove training actually worked.
A Measurable Path to Readiness
StackFactor turns onboarding into a measurable, compliant ramp — not a months-long guessing game.
Compliance Foundation
SHIELD enforces mandatory compliance training as a deployment gate. New hires can't skip the policies, certifications, or attestations their role requires.
SHIELDSkills Mapping & Learning
EXCEED maps the new hire's role to the exact skills they need, generates an assessment, and builds a personalized learning plan to close gaps.
EXCEEDProficiency & Readiness
Microskill assessments measure real proficiency. Managers see live readiness dashboards and route work with confidence — not just hope.
SHIELD + EXCEEDMultiple Roles. One Problem.
Onboarding touches L&D, hiring managers, compliance, and the new hire themselves. Each has a different need, but they all depend on the same outcome: a productive, compliant employee — fast.
CLO / Head of L&D
Needs to prove onboarding programs close skills gaps and reduce time-to-productivity.
Hiring Manager
Needs new hires contributing to the team as fast as possible without burdening existing staff.
CCO / Compliance
Needs new hires meeting compliance and regulatory requirements before they start working.
New Employee
Needs clear expectations, relevant training, and a path to confidence in their new role.
