Onboarding, also known as ‘organisational socialisation’, is a term used in human resource management (HRM) that describes the process of introducing new employees into an organisation. Experts report that poor onboarding is one of the primary reasons for high employee turnover. The purpose of onboarding is to familiarize new employees with their roles and make them feel accepted, valued and supported by the organisation. This HRM training course discusses how to implement the onboarding process correctly to alleviate stress, improve an organisation's culture and reduce miscellaneous costs while boosting performance.

We then examine the factors to consider when calculating turnover costs and the expectations of employees in their new roles. We go over the procedures you can use to make employees feel welcome. We also present guidelines for making a checklist of new employees' first day at work and describe the activities to be done within the first 30 days. Every successful program demands preparation and onboarding is no exception. We thus describe onboarding preparation and the impact of mentorship.

This HRM training course demonstrates how to create a list for each step of the onboarding process. We highlight the activities used to induct new employees and guide them through pre-arrival, arrival, the first week and the first month of their new role. We explain how to improve employee engagement through trust and communication. We also highlight the roles of managers and human resource personnel in onboarding.

This course suits small business owners, managers, directors and human resource specialists who value employee satisfaction and understand how much it affects performance and growth. Enroll to learn how to onboard employees and get them up to speed as quickly and effectively as possible.
