EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING
Employee Onboarding
Employee onboarding refers to the process of absorbing a new employee into an organization and assisting them in becoming acquainted with the corporate culture, regulations, and processes. It is an important step in ensuring that new staff are productive and engaged right away.
Key elements of employee onboarding
- Preboarding stage begins before the employee's first day and involves sending them a welcome email, providing them with pre-reading materials, and assigning them a mentor.
- First day should be focused on making the new employee feel welcome and comfortable. Give a tour of the office, introduce them to their team members, and provide them with any necessary equipment.
- Ongoing onboarding stage lasts for several weeks or even months and involves providing the new employee with the training and support they need to be successful in their role. This may include formal training sessions, shadowing experienced employees, and one-on-one coaching.
