Starting a new job should feel exciting, not like cramming for an exam. But too often, onboarding is a mix of endless paperwork, information overload, and awkward 'Where do I find that again?' moments. That is, until you enter AI audio onboarding—because nothing says "Welcome to the team!" like NOT making new hires scroll through a 50-page PDF or sit through another never-ending Zoom call.
Say NO to “death-by-PDF”!
Why use AI Podcasts for onboarding?
Traditional onboarding methods have their limitations—too much paperwork, too many meetings, and information overload. AI audio onboarding offers a solution that is:
- More engaging – Employees absorb more when information is delivered conversationally.
- Faster to produce – No need to schedule trainers or record voiceovers manually.
- More accessible – Audio-based learning supports different learning styles and busy schedules.
Instead of burying new hires in endless reading material, AI onboarding podcasts let them listen and learn—maybe while sipping their morning coffee, maybe while pretending to organize their desk (we see you).
Turn your onboarding content into audio
HR teams already have a ton of content—handbooks, welcome emails, company values, and role-specific training. With Wondercraft, you can quickly convert these into AI podcasts.
What to include in your AI onboarding podcast?
- Welcome message from leadership – Make new hires feel valued with a personal intro
- Company culture & values – Share what makes your workplace unique
- Key policies & benefits – Explain company policies in a conversational way
- Role-specific training – Provide structured audio guides tailored to different teams
- First-week roadmap – Give employees a clear idea of what to expect
Make it sound like your company
A robotic, monotone voice isn’t exactly the warm welcome new hires are hoping for—unless you’re onboarding actual robots. That’s why we offer a library of natural-sounding AI voices to suit your company’s tone.
Want to make it feel more personal? Clone your CEO’s voice or use Parrot Mode to record key phrases so they sound exactly how you want them.
This ensures your onboarding content sounds friendly, engaging, and human, instead of like an automated call center.
Make it engaging and interactive
Traditional onboarding is often one-sided—employees are given a pile of resources and expected to absorb everything. But AI onboarding can be interactive and inclusive:
- Use Director Mode to fine-tune delivery – Need a serious tone for compliance? A friendly, upbeat vibe for culture? Or just want the AI to read like it’s dramatically narrating a mystery novel? You got it.
- Add chapter markers (or different episodes) – Let employees jump to sections they need instead of listening from start to finish.
- Incorporate quizzes & check-ins – Combine audio with interactive elements to reinforce learning.
By making onboarding more dynamic, employees retain information better and feel more engaged from day one.
Share it where it matters
Once you’ve created your AI-generated onboarding audio, it’s time to share it. Here are a few ways to distribute it:
- Embed in your company’s LMS – Keep everything structured in your learning management system
- Send via Slack or email – Let new hires listen at their own pace
- Host as a private podcast – Employees can access episodes whenever they need a refresher
- Create a dedicated onboarding hub – Store all materials in one easy-to-find place
The easier it is for employees to access onboarding content, the smoother their transition into the company.
Is it worth it? We believe so!
- Saves time for HR – Automate repetitive onboarding sessions so HR can focus on more personalized interactions
- Boosts engagement – Employees actually listen to onboarding podcasts instead of skimming documents
- Supports remote & hybrid teams – Standardized audio ensures all employees get the same high-quality onboarding, no matter where they are
- Reduces information overload – New hires can learn in bite-sized pieces instead of getting overwhelmed
Get started with AI podcasts for onboarding
Onboarding doesn’t have to feel like a corporate bootcamp—for HR or new hires. Let AI handle the heavy lifting so everyone can focus on what actually matters. With AI podcasts, you can make training more engaging, efficient, and accessible—without the hassle of scheduling endless meetings or recording content manually.
