Developing Effective Onboarding Practices

Recruiting talent for your company is difficult. Once you have found and hired the right person, your next step is keeping him/her. Employee retention actually starts before day one, but call HR 1Source for more tips. Here is a sample of topics to consider:

Day One – Five – Be ready! Welcome the new person yourself, if possible. Arrange for a “buddy” to help the new employee. Ensure your expectations are clear for the new person AND the buddy.

Week Two – Personally check-in with the new person. Get a “read.” Follow-up on routines, duties, and expectations.

There are a few additional steps to be taken with an effective onboarding process. Contact HR 1Source for assistance. Ed’s cell 804.366.5721 Ed’s email address epfab@hr-1source.com
