Redesigning onboarding to strengthen connection from day one
How do you welcome new employees in a way that builds both clarity and connection from the start?
Client: Finanstilsynet
Task: pre- and onboarding-strategy
Finanstilsynet approached us with a clear ambition: to strengthen and modernize their pre- and onboarding process. The goal was not only to prepare new employees professionally, but to help them feel part of the organization from day one.
Together, we reimagined onboarding to reflect today’s workplace and put people at the center.

The Challenge
Finanstilsynet’s ambition was to create a more engaging and contemporary onboarding experience—one that would accelerate professional readiness while strengthening a sense of belonging from day one.
The challenge was therefore both practical and cultural: how do you combine clarity, efficiency, and connection in one cohesive journey?
Our Approach
Onboarding shapes first impressions–and first impressions shape engagement.
Virtio redesigned the pre- and onboarding journey around storytelling and authentic employee voices.
By combining strategic framing with real perspectives, the experience moved beyond policies and procedures.
The goal was not simply to inform, but to create early alignment and belonging in the employee journey.
“We became bolder through our collaboration with Virtio. And we got so much more than we asked for: An onboarding module that perfectly captures what it means to be part of Finanstilsynet. They helped us highlight the people and elevate the energy.”
– Cathrine Severin Kaiser, Deputy Office Manager
