Employee Onboarding Training
The entirety of the onboarding process is the point in the new hire’s career that you build a bond between the organization and the employee. Developing this support system early on solidifies the work ethic you’ve found in quality candidates and creates a positive working and learning environment.
Without this buttress of company ethics behind the training and learning, it’s much harder for your new hires to relate to the organization on a fundamental level. The Aberdeen Group noted some suggestions for a better onboarding program in their annual onboarding update:
Ensure hiring managers have the tools and resources to engage new staff
Communicate the organization’s core values and missions
Integrate onboarding with a training program
Create connections between new hires and colleagues
Why you should invest in new hire training
Training helps new hires:
Understand how their department and your company operates
Learn what guidelines you use and policies you enforce
Set up workstations with necessary tools and technology
Familiarize themselves with their position’s requirements
