Onboarding and induction

Helping new employees start well.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Onboarding covers everything from the offer letter to the new employee becoming productive.
  2. Induction introduces the company, policies, people and tools in the first days.
  3. Paperwork includes the appointment letter, ID proofs, bank details and statutory forms.
  4. A buddy or mentor helps a new joiner settle in.
  5. Good onboarding reduces early resignations.
💡 Real-life example: Like the first week at a new college: orientation, a tour, meeting seniors and knowing where everything is makes you feel you belong.
