An onboarding process is the transformation of individuals from a new hire to a high-performing employee. The onboarding process should start from the moment a new recruit signs their offer letter – the length of onboarding is different for each business, but typically it should last anywhere between 2 to 12 months after the employee has joined the organisation.
World-class onboarding process
- Create clear expectations
As soon as a candidate signs their offer letter, communication is vital. Businesses should:
- Provide information on company policies and benefits – Provide detailed information regarding company policies and employee benefits on their first day in the business. The materials should include everything from compliance to insurance to tax liabilities to the company policies on leaves and diversity and inclusion. Also, it’s essential to have the employees sign all the documents that formally say they are an employee of the business – asking for these to be digitally signed is also helpful when you are required to onboard remote employees.
- Provide role clarity – Creating a breakdown of the employees daily tasks is important to help them gain clarity about their roles and responsibilities.
New recruits need to understand their next steps, by sharing information on company policies, benefits and role clarity is the best way to do this.
- Let technology do the heavy lifting
Finally, it is important to make the most out of technology to help streamline the onboarding.
