Onboarding Toolkit

Organizations are actively engaging in experiments for new hiring and onboarding approaches. Many are forming committees and asking questions such as:

What do the first six hours of employment look like in our organization? The first week? 1 Month? 90 days?
Are team members greeted warmly by their supervisor, a mentor and a peer?
Who shares with them the history and values of our organization?
Do we explain to new team members that they are an important part of the organization with access to people to support them and education to help them grow?
Do they receive a tour, a warm meal and a multiple day orientation period that carefully paces out information in reasonable, digestible bites?
Are new staff hired in a cohort so they have peers to lean on?
Are there international check-ins at 1 week, 14 days, 30/60/90 days?

Take time today to review the Onboarding Toolkit to engage your workforce and improve your retention! Special THANKS to LeadingAge Minnesota for the time and effort in developing this amazing resource for LeadingAge members across the country.
