Whatโ€™s on your onboarding checklist? โœ… 

A well-thought-out checklist helps save time and ensures nothing falls through the cracks. This is crucial, considering that 20% of employees quit within the first 45 days of employment and 60% of employers do not set any milestones for new employees. ๐Ÿ™Ž 

Just handing them an employee handbook and conducting a 60-minute onboarding session is not enough. โŒ 

Here are some things that should be part of every onboarding process:

โœ… Pre-Boarding: How many times have you lost a potentially great candidate to other offers? This is why pre-boarding is super important in this highly competitive job market. Keep up and maintain a relationship with new joinees way before they join - send them a welcome package, emails about exciting benefits, and more! ๐ŸŽ

โœ… Assign a Buddy: This is an underestimated part of onboarding. Not everyone may want a buddy, but having access to someone in the company who is assigned to support you can make new employees feel a lot less overwhelmed. ๐Ÿ™‡ 

โœ… Team Introduction: Another one that absolutely should not be missed, especially for remote companies - setting up an intro call. Introduce the newbie to their team and all colleagues through a virtual team meeting. This can help break the ice and make them feel at home. ๐Ÿค

โœ… Goal Setting: As stated above, 60% of employers do not set any milestones for new employees. Discussing their short-term and long-term goals, setting clear expectations, and milestones for their first 90 days can really boost retention. ๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿ“…

New employees with good onboarding experiences are 18x more committed to their employer

โœ… Career Visioning with Manager: This should ideally take place after the first month. Setting clear, long-term goals at this stage enables them to proactively work towards projected outcomes, helping them feel included, valued, empowered, and committed to the company for the long term.

โœ… Feedback Loop: Another one that is often missed - asking for feedback! Ask for their feedback on the onboarding experience to identify areas for improvement and ensure they feel heard. ๐Ÿ“

Remember, the goal is not only to integrate them into their role but also to make them feel like a valued part of the company. ๐ŸŒŸ
