Making the onboarding process a successful and pleasant one is always a challenge for a company. A thorough preparation should be done on every stage. The main steps of the successful onboarding process should include the following:
All the papers should be ready for the moment a new employee arrives
There should be a plan for a new hire discussed with the director about the employee’s role, goals and future projects.
A checklist should be created according to the field of new employee’s activity
The new hire workplace should be ready
The new employee should fully understand his/her responsibilities and expectations from the very first working day
It will be good to help an new employee get acquainted with the company’s corporate culture and its peculiarities
The new hire should have a project for him/her to take from the first working day to be involved in working process
The organization team should help a new employee to socialize in the new company effectively
At the same time it is important to take into account that the onboarding process should not be permanent.
In conclusion I would like to say, that there are two key factors of a successful onboarding process within the global environment. First of all, the company should be fully ready for meeting a new employee (have the right documents, working place, projects to work on, etc.). Then, there should be created a positive atmosphere for a newly hired person. If the employee understands what is happening around him/her and what he/she is expected to do, the results of such work would be the best.
