Onboarding
What is onboarding?
Onboarding introduces and integrates new employees into an organisation. It’s the most important first impression an employer will make to a new employee – and their circle of influence by proxy. The process of onboarding includes providing information on company policies, the employee handbook, the role, relevant procedures, and culture.
Why is onboarding so important?
When companies design compliant and engaging onboarding procedures and content, both employees and employers win. New starters are looking for enthusiasm, inspiration, and motivation to excel in their new responsibilities. While management wants to see talent be given the tools, foundation, and grounding to succeed.
A powerful onboarding experience fosters a sense of belonging, boosts engagement, and improves retention rates. It might seem small, but every onboarding process has a significant impact on the organisation.
How can organisations and companies make onboarding better and easier?
The sheer amount of documents and information that need to be included in onboarding makes the task difficult. In our hybrid, remote, work-from-home reality, employers need an onboarding process that can be fully automated and accessed from anywhere in the world.
