In this episode, we discuss the importance of onboarding new hires and the crucial role first impressions play in this process. Did you know that an effective onboarding program can improve employee retention by 82%? Listen in as I share three best practices for creating memorable onboarding experiences, covering the pre-boarding stage, the first day and week, and ongoing onboarding.

We dive into the pre-boarding stage, which begins the moment the job offer is accepted, and discuss the importance of clear communication and planning during this stage. I also share tips for the first day and week, such as creating a warm welcome, assigning a buddy to new employees, and setting up their workspace. Finally, we explore ongoing onboarding, including setting expectations, providing feedback, and celebrating milestones.
