Creating a Meaningful and Successful Onboarding Process
One of the most important things an organization can do is have a meaningful and successful onboarding process. Why? Because 69% of employees say they are more likely to stay with a company for three years when they have a great onboarding experience.
While there are many different ways to craft the perfect onboarding process, we have compiled four that are sure to jumpstart your organization’s success.
Customize: Onboarding is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each employee and position are different, and their onboarding should reflect this.
Collect Resources: Equip your new hires with all the tools they will need to succeed. These tools could include account access, passwords, training materials, facility maps (if the job is in the office), and information on PTO, healthcare, etc.
Build Connections: Make sure your new hire is meeting a variety of people within your organization. Setting up coffee chats, having current employees reach out, or taking them to lunch will all assist in making your new hire feel comfortable.
Emphasize Culture: Your new hire will benefit from seeing how they fit into your company’s work culture. Show them examples of what your organization’s culture entails and the norms within it.
These tips will help reduce anxiety from your new hires and feel good about their role. Again, onboarding is a critical part of your new employee’s experience and can lead to a high-performing workforce, so start investing in your onboarding now.
