The onboarding process should span the new employee’s first three months, and should even start before the employee’s first day. It’s important to develop a comprehensive plan for this process, and what’s expected at each stage. The costs of improper employee onboarding are staggering, but sticking to solid practices pays off in a big way. It does take discipline to create a thorough plan and see it through. When you put in the effort, though, you’ll develop engaged employees who are committed to your company’s success.
