Starting a new job can be exciting, yet nerve wracking. Businesses should want to set new employees up for success, having a well-thought out onboarding process plays a key role in this.
Clear communication
Clear communication is one of the most important aspects of a successful onboarding process. Before the employees first day, businesses should provide them with detailed information such as:
- Line manager information
- Contracts
- Policies and procedures
- General new hire paperwork
This helps set the tone for a positive first impression and helps make the first stage as clear as possible.
Training and development
It is crucial to provide new employees with the correct training for their new roles. This may include technical training, soft skills development, and introductions to the company processes and softwares.
Integration into company culture
Introduce new employees to their new team members to help them get to know their new colleagues and feel part of the team. An easy way to do this is to organise team-building activities, social events, or even virtual meetups
Feedback opportunities
From day one, it is important to include feedback in the onboarding process. Businesses should want their new employees to share their experiences of their first couple of weeks and provide constructive feedback. Regular one-to-ones during the first couple of months help to address any concerns promptly.
