Good onboarding is good business
Onboarding is the discipline of receiving and integrating new employees. To successfully onboard new employees they should be integrated across six dimensions, combining training, team meetings, one-to-one dialogue, and work assignments in a fast, effective, and structured onboarding process. The desired outcome is that your employees feel settled and part of a larger team. In turn, this enables them to perform and provide value to the organization. This is what we call structured onboarding.
