This document discusses key properties and parameters of populations including size, density, distribution patterns, demographic parameters like birth, death, migration, and immigration rates. It also covers population growth rate which results from births, deaths, migrations and size over time, as well as population structure related to gender, size, age, and color.
The document discusses various characteristics of populations including size, density, growth, and dispersion.

This document provides an overview of onboarding best practices. It discusses how effective onboarding engages new employees, reduces turnover, and improves productivity. Proper onboarding is important as replacing employees is costly. The document outlines onboarding objectives, components, metrics, and technology systems that support the process. It emphasizes measuring the return on investment of onboarding through metrics like time to productivity and employee retention.
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.
The document discusses the importance of recruitment for businesses and describes the services offered by Abbertons Permanent Recruitment to help clients find the right employees. These services include conducting thorough candidate attraction and selection campaigns, providing access to a large database of candidates and skills tests, and offering a high success rate of over 85% in making suitable hires.
The document outlines an onboarding plan and process for new hires. It includes pre-hiring, onboarding on the first day, and activities and trainings scheduled for the employee's first week. The plan aims to smoothly integrate new employees by familiarizing them with company culture, policies, technology systems and facilitating introductions to colleagues. Checklists are provided for documents required from the new hire and tasks such as setting up the employee's workstation, IT systems and scheduling initial meetings and trainings.
2. You never get a second
chance to make a first
impression.
4% of new hires leave a job after a disastrous first day
22% of turnover occurs within the first 45 days
Costing the company at least 3x the former employee’s salary*
Onboarding is a critical point in the talent lifecycle. A solid
program not only bridges the gap between candidate
experience and employee experience, it acts as a catalyst for
employee satisfaction and retention.
Of course, it’s hard to make a powerful first impression with
limited resources, budget and leadership support.
To help you succeed, we’ve created this onboarding toolkit.
From inspiring examples to practical guides, this
“Onboarding in a box” is chock full of essential resources for
every stage of your new hire process.
Make the first interactions with new employees count,
and become a more productive and succesful talent
management team.

Package
One of the most important and often overlooked steps is
pre-boarding. It’s the introduction to the full onboarding
experience. Not only does it increase new hire’s excitement,
but it also fosters a relationship with them before orientation.
So before your new employees step foot into your office, do
your homework with the folowing checklist. From the basics
to awesome extras, this list will help you identify
every way to make them feel valued and
welcome.
Also, don’t hesitate to engage with them
before orientation. We created a sample
email for you to customize and send to
your new hires one week before they
arrive. It’s a great way to communicate
how excited you are for them to join,
and also prep them for succes on day
one. It’s a plug and play template, so
fill in the blanks with your company
information. Don’t forget to add
culture and personality.

Experience
“New hire orientation” is so stale. Give your fresh employees
an amazing first impression of their new career choice with an
interactive and fun first day on the new job.
Start with this sample agenda. This will help you plan an
informational yet dynamic experience. Avoid death by
PowerPoint with team-buidling activities, likely videos and full-
circle discussions to build relationship and engagement. We
know every department wants a piece of new employees on
day one. but focus the first day on experiential learning and
you’ll make a greater impact.
At the end of the day, give them and go over a New Hire
Welcome Guide. As new employees get familiar with their
role and the company, they will refer
to this resource on a daily basis. The
sample here will give you an
idea of the components you need
to include. We suggest making it
digital and interactive by linking to
videos, your intranet and more.

First Quarter Tools
The first 90 days are a critical time in establishing a new
employee’s success. This is also the point where the new hire’s
manager takes on more of the onboarding responsibility.
It’s essential for you to help them train and manage new
employees effectively, while making the experience personal
and transformative.
To do so, we give you a list of check-in questions for the
manager to ask their new hire. This conversation should take
place over weekly 1:1s or casual coffee chats. It will create an
open working relationship, help trust and help identify how
the manager can better help the employee transition to their
new role, team and company.
Also, the manager should help the new hire create some
measurable goals. Use the following template to set
expectations, clearly define what success looks like, and keep
new hires highly engaged. Include a combination of quick-wins
and long-term goals that will give new employees a sense of
accomplishment and lasting impact.
14. Best Boss Ever Check-in Questions
Questions to ask your new hire over coffee:
How’s it going? How do you feel in your new job?
What are you enjoying most about your role?
Is the job/team/company what you expected?
Has anything suprised you? If so, what?
Has training been helpful? What would you add or change?
Do you have all the tools and resources that you need?
Do you feel like you have gotten to know your co-workers well?
Do you feel out of the loop about anything?
What should we provide to new employees that we have missed?
What is working/what is not working?
Is anything about your role, team or company still unclear?
How can I be a better manager to you?
As your manager, what can I do to make your transition easier?

17. Measure Your
Success
New hire and business needs are always changing, so your
onboarding process must constantly evolve. Feedback
is one of the best ways to measure succes and reiterate
your program. If you can’t measure it, you can’t imagine it.
Here you’ll find two surveys for you to copy, paste, and
customize. One measures the effectiveness of new hire’s first
30 and/or 90 days in the new role. Both include rating scale
and open-ended questions for constructive feedback that
you can use.
