A successful induction programme for new employees is crucial for their confidence, productivity and loyalty. It is important to clarify all requirements before the first day of work and to create a balanced induction plan. Unwritten rules within the team should be observed and experienced employees should be consulted as contacts. Tasks should be distributed among several people to speed up integration. An onboarding checklist can help to structure the process:
- Preparing and setting up the workplace, including installing programmes and setting up email accounts.
- Team preparation and creation of a joint induction plan.
- Creation of a welcome pack with important company information.
- Structuring the first working day with a clear start to work, a tour of the company and lunch together to promote team integration.
