The onboarding process can be difficult to get right, but with employers focussing on staff retention rather than recruitment in 2023, it’s vital to help employees integrate into your organisation. And with more people embracing hybrid working than ever before, it’s important to make sure your employees feel part of a team culture, whether they’re working from home or the office.

Top Tips for your New Starters

> Ensure that your new employee has the necessary resources and equipment to be successful in their role – and that they don’t get lost on their first day!

> Encouraging peer support, such as shadowing team members in similar roles, can help your new starter get to know both their job role and their new colleagues more easily.

> Try not to overfill the agenda! Completing your onboarding process in week one can be exhausting for new starters and lead to information overload – it may be better to spread this over a longer period.
