Onboarding

Typically, the complete process of onboarding is managed by the HR team and also eases the transition for new hires by providing them with all relevant documentation, materials, and training needed. The process allows businesses to introduce new team members to the culture of company in addition to provide training on the job itself.

Onboarding software is leveraged by HR team to coordinate and streamline the onboarding process. Paperwork trails can be eliminated and the experience can be consolidated in one centralized hub by using these tools.

Pre-first day preparation, First-day orientation, End of the first week, 90-day check-in and One-year milestone are five stages of the process that help employees navigate the first year with an organization.

Organizations that implement a practical onboarding experience will likely establish and build trust, enable new team members to hit the ground running in their roles, attract top talent and build strong teams, increased employee engagement and promoting company culture of an organization.

Some general best practices should be followed by all companies while conducting employee onboarding programs, no matter the format or structure of the onboarding program. Organizations should make the first day memorable and fun, keep it consistent, be reasonable with training expectations and minimize surprises and eliminate guesswork.
