E16: How to Deliver Employee Onboarding That Doesn’t Suck (And Frees Up 100s of Hours of Your Time)

How do you deliver employee onboarding that doesn’t suck?   5 guiding principles that make all the difference:   1/ Hold teams accountable for their own onboarding (— HR will only cover the small fraction of onboarding that’s relevant to everyone in the company!)   2/ Get clear on the end goal. We want employees happy and confident in all areas of their role — this is not just about their first few days.   3/ Fix the foundations. You need documented guidance on how tasks are expected to be done in your team. Training without these foundations will be forgotten.   4/ Put the new joiner in the driving seat. A self-service onboarding checklist is a game changer for both the new joiner (who can move at their own pace and never gets blocked) and the team (who free up 100s of hours that would have been spent training/mentoring/fixing mistakes).   5/ Sprinkle on the wow factor. You don’t need a big budget or investment in time — a few little touches like a handwritten note and a personalized gift make a huge impact.   We cover all this and more in this episode of De-stress Your Business.   ---   Want to learn more?
