The Problem
Scattered knowledge across people, locations, and tools
DataGuard is a global leader in security and compliance software, helping over 4,000 organizations build scalable risk management systems and comply with industry regulations such as GDPR.
For DataGuard, international growth and a hybrid work model meant knowledge was scattered across various people, locations, and tools (SharePoint, Excel, HRIS), creating inefficiencies and frustration for new hires and long-tenured employees.
"We needed a solution to help us create a motivating and structured onboarding process—Deel Engage delivered." —Matea Ćurić, Senior People Partner, DataGuard
The Solution
Cultural, social, and professional integration for new hires
DataGuard partnered with Deel to implement an effective and motivating onboarding process focused on three key dimensions:
- Cultural integration with company-wide onboarding journeys
- Social integration with buddy programs fostering relationship-building
- Professional integration with role-specific training journeys
Core skill and enablement training courses
DataGuard created an extensive training library with 195 learning resources covering soft skills like self-awareness, giving and receiving feedback, and tool training courses like ones on Asana and Figjam. Enablement training content is also delivered to key departments, such as Customer Experience. Lastly, DataGuard uses Deel Engage to streamline internal communication and deliver company and product updates.
“With Deel Engage, creating learning journeys feels very intuitive, as you can simply embed content via drag-and-drop.”—Matea Ćurić, Senior People Partner, DataGuard
