Onboarding
Welcome | Getting Started | Overview | KnowledgeNet
Onboarding is the process of integrating new hires into their new work environment and into the culture of the organization. It is relationship building and establishing connections with people inside of the organization in order to make new hires more satisfied and to make the choice to leave the organization more difficult. Therefore, Onboarding is a key tool in the retention of new hires.
Onboarding consists of System, Affiliate and Department Onboarding. Newly-hired employees participate in all sessions within the first few days of their start with the organization.
