ONBOARDING

Setting the trajectory for a positive and productive employee experience

First impressions are everything, and as your new employees join your team, their onboarding experience will play a significant role in shaping their perception of your organization. Since the onboarding process acclimates employees to their new work environment and sets the stage for what they can expect as an employee, it heavily impacts employee performance, retention rates, and culture. Unfortunately, organizations with low HR bandwidth can often miss opportunities to bolster their onboarding processes and to leverage onboarding as a tool for improving their trajectory one new hire at a time.

Our HR experts at HRG understand the critical role onboarding plays in determining an employee’s success, so we have designed an onboarding service to help organizations build and implement comprehensive and efficient onboarding processes for their employees.

Educate. Expectation-Set. Empower. Enrich.

Creating a strong onboarding experience for new hires offers benefits for both the employee and the employer. The onboarding process provides an opportunity for an organization to educate its employees on policies, procedures, and performance standards. Effective onboarding also helps employees fully understand what is expected of them as it relates to performance, productivity, culture, and safety. Depending on the organization’s structure and the employee’s position, the onboarding process can be an effective way to communicate the qualities, characteristics, actions, and performance metrics that are evaluated when considering employees for bonuses, promotions, or raises.

One component that is often overlooked and underutilized by organizations is informing employees on HR policies and procedures. Reviewing the employee handbook and discussing topics such as employee benefits, leave policies, and payroll shows employees your organization cares about their well-being, and it empowers them to successfully participate in your organization’s HR function. All onboarding benefits for employees combine to produce favorable results for the organization as they reduce the time it takes employees to become productive, improve employee sentiment and morale, and increase employee retention rates.

What to Expect When Onboarding with HRG

HRG understands that all organizations are unique, so we are dedicated to tailoring our onboarding services specifically to your organization’s needs. When you engage HRG for employee onboarding, we assign an HRG consultant to your organization. Your consultant will assess your current onboarding processes to determine strengths and to identify opportunities for improvement. Your consultant will also work with various stakeholders including leadership, management, HR staff, and employees to craft effective and consistent onboarding processes that will inform, educate, and empower your new hires. Depending on the level of support your organization needs, your HRG consultant can assist in implementing the onboarding process, so your new hires can receive hands-on and responsive onboarding administration.
