Employee onboarding is a comprehensive process designed to effectively integrate new hires into an organization. It involves training and learning activities that help employees understand their roles, responsibilities, and the company's culture

The primary purpose of onboarding is to acclimate new employees to your organization's mission, values, and goals. It boosts engagement by encouraging connections with colleagues and promoting a sense of belonging. At the same time, onboarding prepares employees with the training and resources they need to succeed in their roles. A good onboarding process increases employee satisfaction and retention, reducing turnover rates.
