HOW THESE

COMPANIES ONBOARD

IN STYLE AND KEEP

TURNOVER LOW

Companies that are dedicated

to seeing their employees
thrive understand the
significance of onboarding.

Recent studies have found

that onboarding correlates
positively not only with employee
performance but with employee
retention as well.

Here are some companies that have

succeeded in creating commendable
onboarding programs that set a
solid foundation for their new hires
to flourish and also kept turnover
impressively low as a result.
 While in most companies
onboarding falls within the purview
of HR, things happen a little
differently at Google. At this
organization, onboarding is
always a team affair. This means
that onboarding will vary from
team to team, reflecting each
team’s unique camaraderie and
working style.

A refreshing idea, this approach is a

testament to the trust that Google
places in its employees, empowering
them to handle and execute
important tasks with success.
 Twitter has reinvented its
onboarding with a conscientiously
conceived “Yes to Desk” program, a
75 step journey designed to ensure
the new hire’s seamless transition
into the company and their new role.

On the new hire’s very first day, they

are allotted their desk, their email
address and the numerous other
resources they’ll be needing, along
with some fun gifts to put them at
ease, such as a T-shirt and a bottle of
wine. Their workspace is kept
deliberately close to their team
members’ so they can get to know who
they’ll be working with and understand
what the team dynamic is like.
 What really stands out about
Netflix’s onboarding program is the
extraordinary amount of trust the
company places in its new hires’
expertise. From the very first day,
they are assigned important
projects which they are expected to
start working on immediately.

By making them a significant player in

the decision-making process from the
get go, Netflix empowers its new hires
with a sense of authority.
In crafting its onboarding program,
Linkedin has gone to great lengths
to understand what the new hire
would ideally want from their
Onboarding. Upon accepting the
offer, the new hire is sent a warm
congratulatory email, shortly after
which they receive an extensive and
interactive PDF that communicates
all the important details about the
new hire’s first day at work.

They are additionally sent

the Linkedin Culture Code, which
directs them to #LinkedinLife, a
campaign that offers an exciting peek
into the company’s culture.
