Onboarding
Summary Definition: The process of incorporating new hires into a company and setting them up for success in their new role.
What is Onboarding?
Onboarding is how organizations integrate new hires into their workforce. It starts after a job offer is accepted and moves through several phases, such as collecting required information (e.g., Form I-9), completing orientation, and assigning required training resources.
The length of the entire process can vary, but all companies should recognize and prioritize the importance of a well-rounded, engaging experience when designing an onboarding program.
