Employee onboarding is the process of integrating a new employee with a company, its culture, and all of the information needed for a role. Although the process itself sounds simple, it is actually one of the most critical factors in producing efficient and engaged workers.
While it's no surprise that the onboarding process can vary greatly from company to company, all successful onboarding programs place an emphasis on these things:
- Structure - Providing a consistent process across the board, regardless of different job titles or locations
- Operations - Ensuring your new hires have access to all materials and training necessary to do their jobs successfully.
- Strategy - Changing the thought process behind your onboarding from "checking the box" to "recipe for success."
As 2022 will likely see a continuation in the workforce shortage, placing an ongoing emphasis on your employee onboarding experience can help you conquer any retention woes.
