policies.

unit as a “buddy” who can help the joinee for the first few
months.

■ Employees are given a digital on-boarding checklist which they have
60 days to complete.

The facts

■ It can take new employees an average of eight months to get

fully up-to-speed
■ A lot of companies overlook the importance of preparation when
they’re about to welcome a new team member
■ Even the most experienced employees will need time to settle
into their roles and understand the company processes
What can be done?
■ An effective and well-structured on-boarding process should be
designed that can set an employee up for success in the new
role.
■ The program should be elaborate and should involve the
immediate colleagues and reporting manager.
■ The process should expedite their fit with the team and culture.
■ Improve the induction process regularly based on employee
feedback.
Remote On-boarding
■ It helps to have a phone call or video chat with the new hire to
answer questions and give them an overview of what will
happen on their first day to set some expectations.
■ Get the short introduction videos done by the new and existing
employees.
■ Share all of these individual welcome videos prior to the
employee’s start date.
■ Understanding a bit about each other (values, humour, location,
and so on) helps build trust.
■ It is important to define the role and communicate it to the entire
team. During this time, clear expectations can be set for the role
and the changes cab be explained to all team members.
