Onboarding: The Road to Long-term Success
Onboarding is not a one-day event but rather a process that starts before the new hire's first day and continues for months. The goal of onboarding is to ensure successful assimilation of new hires from a business, cultural, and situational perspective to develop an effective workforce. Without proper onboarding, companies experience increased turnover, costly mistakes, low productivity, and slower returns on investment. Onboarding responsibility is shared across the organization. Effective onboarding involves preparing for the new hire's start date, creating and managing an onboarding plan, involving others, and providing feedback.
