0 Flares 0 Flares ×

Onboarding Final 3The process of being hired, aka onboarding, is an exciting time for both the new hire and the company!

The onboarding process occurs right after the interview phase, and is when the new hire is introduced to the organization. The purpose of onboarding is to alleviate any anxieties and extend a warm welcome to the new employee. It’s important to let this person know that they are an important element in the group; and that they are going to be valued.
