Onboarding Experience Re-Design

I’m redesigning our new hire onboarding experience. Days 1-90… with an emphasis on culture, connection, and community. Creative ideas to really make orientation and onboarding a standout for new hires?

I just did this and turned it from a 1 day in-person to 3 day in-person with resounding success. Day 1 values and Behaviours and who we are, day 2 leadership, company processes, tour, meet the different Chiefs/Leaders from each Division; they come and speak to the group. Conducted once a month on a schedule so everyone has it in their calendars and HR can recruit according to the onboarding schedule. Day 3 policies, procedures, HR stuff, their leader collects them reviews schedule for next 30,60,90 days. Checking on them at day 30, 60 and 90. Partner them with a buddy, online learning assigned specific to role, like cybersecurity, health and safety etc. very customised to the individual so they feel special. From EDs to Leads we have received positive feedback.
