Case Study: Pepsico improves onboarding consistency and retention with Appical

PepsiCo Case Beverage and snack food giant PepsiCo saw an opportunity to make training for new staff more job specific using Appical

PepsiCo wanted a more consistent and effective onboarding experience for new hires across its global teams, especially in procurement, where employees needed to quickly learn company fundamentals, job responsibilities, and how PepsiCo operates worldwide. To address this, the company partnered with Appical and used its pre- and onboarding program to standardize training and improve the new-hire experience.

Appical delivered a cloud-based onboarding solution with videos, quizzes, drag-and-drop worksheets, webinars, workbooks, and reference materials available in multiple languages. PepsiCo rolled it out after a fast one-month build and pilot, and new hires now spend an average of 9.25 hours on pre-boarding before day one. The company reports better consistency, faster productivity, and stronger retention, seeing onboarding as a key part of keeping roughly 100 new hires each year.
