Directory Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D<\/a> might just have cracked the code to the most effective employee onboarding processes. From managing contrasting and difficult personalities such as the flamboyant Tony Stark and Thor (who\u2019s literally a god), to ensuring that a new hire who might be facing difficulties adjusting to their new surroundings is taken care of and eased into the team (Black Widow winning a cautious Bruce Banner\u2019s trust and eventually getting him onboard), Avengers <\/em>is an example of how carefully thought out hiring processes can maximise team output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lengthy induction process ultimately culminates in Infinity War<\/em>, when Stark grants Peter Parker\u2019s Spiderman with an official welcome into the group of Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes. Mimicking the moment in which somebody is knighted, Stark tells Peter, \u201cAlright kid, you\u2019re an Avenger now.\u201d However, things don\u2019t always go to plan. In spite of a lot of effort on the team\u2019s part, Quicksilver met a rather quick and untimely end in Age of Ultron<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this is just an encapsulation of some very common knowledge; finding the right people is only half the battle. If you don\u2019t onboard them properly, your great new employees simply won\u2019t stay.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to view onboarding as a continuation of the recruitment process. A strategic and effective employee onboarding process can provide your organisation with higher rates of employee engagement, performance, and retention. And it applies to all sorts of organisations, irrespective of whether you\u2019re working to save the world from an ancient race of interplanetary aliens or are in the business of manufacturing household appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly should you keep in mind while designing your onboarding policies in order to make it more effective? While it should come as no surprise that an effective employee onboarding process will include tactical items, such as the completion of new hire paperwork and the provisioning of employee tools, it must also pay attention to cultural activities that can make a new employee feel welcome and ease their transition into their new team. Below are a few guiding principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onboarding Starts Before Hiring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though this may seem counterintuitive, successful employee onboarding starts well before a candidate is actually hired. Remembering that onboarding is the process of integrating a new hire into your company culture, it is easy to see that exposure to your company culture begins in the recruitment process. Employees are being onboarded from the minute they visit the career page of your company website or talk to a recruiter\/hiring manager and start understanding how candidates are dealt with, what value the company places on their time, how quick they are to respond and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimization of Orientation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The orientation process is an important next step. Planning ahead for an employee\u2019s first day indicates a sincere interest in his or her successful transition. Some organisations handle much of the orientation process even before the first day of employment. This can be done by utilising an online platform (something like Qandle<\/a>, maybe?!<\/em>) whereby a new hire can access all required orientation material and fill out all necessary documentation from the comfort of their home, eliminating the dreaded paperwork stack usually handled on the first day.<\/p>\n\n \n
