Onboarding

What is onboarding?

Onboarding is the process in which new hires are integrated into an organization. It includes not only an initial new-hire orientation process, but an ongoing introduction to an organization's structure, culture, vision, mission and values. Onboarding can last weeks and even up to a year.
