When should employee onboarding start?
A common mistake is to kick it off when the new joiner walks in the door for the first time.
At this point, we’ve already missed an opportunity
Before day one, we can:
Get contracts and policies reviewed
Explain our vision and values
Describe how we work together
Let the joiner know we’ll support their growth
Give the new joiner clarity on how their first day, week, and month will work
In doing so, we help to de-stress the new joiner, turning some of their anxiety into excitement.
And we make day one a lot more fun, as there’s less information to share, and the new joiner can make more progress towards getting productive.
In this episode of De-stress Your Business, we dive deeper into what you can share before day one, how best to do it, and the impact this can have for both the new joiner, and your team!
