ONBOARDING
Businesses that do a good job of onboarding have higher
engagement and retention rates than those that don’t,
and it doesn’t take long for new hires to decide whether
or not they’re going to stick around.
The first few months are critical, so you really need to
make sure your onboarding programs are pulling their
weight.
Onboarding goes beyond simply introducing your
company to new hires (and vice versa). It’s not all about
paperwork, and it’s not over in a day. Along with basic
compliance and safety information, new employees need
to know about your people, your culture: what makes
your company tick.
Onboarding isn’t
orientation
Start at before the very beginning:
the employee handbook
Use your handbook* to tell the story of your company
and its values, define your particular brand of success,
and describe your ideal employees. Then:
•	Recruit for these ideal characteristics
•	Design your onboarding to communicate & reinforce
your values and expectations
•	Use your performance management system to
see how people are measuring up
* It doesn’t have to be an actual book. Get creative.
Start onboarding from the time the job offer is accepted.
Send out information packs and orientation material so
new hires are ready to hit the ground running on day one.
Onboarding doesn’t stop after the first day, or even
the first week. Touch base regularly during the first 6-12
months to show you’re still invested in your new hires,
and to check you’re still aligned. And make sure all of
your onboarding information is available all the time –
uploading to your intranet is a great way to make sure
everyone can get to it when they need it.
...and often
Reach out early...
Get as much admin done behind the scenes as you can
– and ideally before the start date. Do the obvious things
like getting desks and
computers sorted
before the first day,
and automate what
you can: standardized
training can easily be
delivered online instead
of in a classroom.
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Make sure your hires know
what’s expected of them in their
roles from day one; if goals are
unclear and resources hard to
find, employees will struggle to
engage. And find out what they
hope to achieve during their time
with you – investing in employee
development boosts engagement
and productivity.
Set clear expectations on all sides
Have cake when people start, not when they leave – after
all, what are you really more excited about? Provide social
opportunities and make introductions early; scheduled
lunches with various departments helps build networks
and makes the first weeks a little less lonely.
Celebrate beginnings, not endings

Get on board with ONBOARDING

  • 1. Get on board with ONBOARDING
  • 2. Businesses that do a good job of onboarding have higher engagement and retention rates than those that don’t, and it doesn’t take long for new hires to decide whether or not they’re going to stick around. The first few months are critical, so you really need to make sure your onboarding programs are pulling their weight.
  • 3. Onboarding goes beyond simply introducing your company to new hires (and vice versa). It’s not all about paperwork, and it’s not over in a day. Along with basic compliance and safety information, new employees need to know about your people, your culture: what makes your company tick. Onboarding isn’t orientation
  • 4. Start at before the very beginning: the employee handbook Use your handbook* to tell the story of your company and its values, define your particular brand of success, and describe your ideal employees. Then: • Recruit for these ideal characteristics • Design your onboarding to communicate & reinforce your values and expectations • Use your performance management system to see how people are measuring up * It doesn’t have to be an actual book. Get creative.
  • 5. Start onboarding from the time the job offer is accepted. Send out information packs and orientation material so new hires are ready to hit the ground running on day one. Onboarding doesn’t stop after the first day, or even the first week. Touch base regularly during the first 6-12 months to show you’re still invested in your new hires, and to check you’re still aligned. And make sure all of your onboarding information is available all the time – uploading to your intranet is a great way to make sure everyone can get to it when they need it. ...and often Reach out early...
  • 6. Get as much admin done behind the scenes as you can – and ideally before the start date. Do the obvious things like getting desks and computers sorted before the first day, and automate what you can: standardized training can easily be delivered online instead of in a classroom. Don’t sweat the small stuff
  • 7. Make sure your hires know what’s expected of them in their roles from day one; if goals are unclear and resources hard to find, employees will struggle to engage. And find out what they hope to achieve during their time with you – investing in employee development boosts engagement and productivity. Set clear expectations on all sides
  • 8. Have cake when people start, not when they leave – after all, what are you really more excited about? Provide social opportunities and make introductions early; scheduled lunches with various departments helps build networks and makes the first weeks a little less lonely. Celebrate beginnings, not endings
