Onboarding and Induction
Overview
First Impressions are the Best Impressions!
It is important that you set the right tone when onboarding new members of your team. You want them to know that they have made the right decision by joining your organization.
Each year, nearly 25% of the working population undergoes some type of career transition. Turnover is expensive, so it’s important to support new employees with comprehensive onboarding to ensure their success.
Unique Challenges
Onboarding and Induction programs can be challenging because of the following reasons:
- Need to Belong – New hires need to confirm that they have made a great decision by joining your organization. Making them believe in your vision, mission and values is the key to engaging new employees and also enabling retention.
- Culture – What is acceptable and what is not acceptable? Too often new hires have to resort to guessing games to understand a company’s culture, policies, and procedures.
- Getting Started – How do your new employees become productive? Too often induction programs fail to explain the onboarding process to new employees who join the organization.
