1.
ONBOARDING:
SET GOALS, ESTABLISH EXPECTATIONS AND TURN GREAT
CANDIDATES INTO EVEN BETTER EMPLOYEES
Sabrina Baker, PHR

2.
ORIENTATION AND
ONBOARDING
ARE NOT THE SAME THING

3.
ORIENTATION
NEW HIRE PAPERWORK, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES,
HERE’S YOUR CUBICLE

4.
ONBOARDING ENSURES THAT….
Expectations are
set….

5.
ONBOARDING ENSURES THAT….
Goals are aligned….

6.
ONBOARDING ENSURES THAT….
High performance is
achieved….

7.
THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH A
SYSTEMATIC PROCESS
THAT BEGINS IN THE RECRUITMENT
PROCESS AND ENDS MONTHS AFTER A
HIRE IS MADE

8.
ONBOARDING ACTIVITES TAKE PLACE IN
FOUR DISTINCT TIMEFRAMES
Recruitment
Process
Orientation
First 90 Days
Growth
91-180 Days
Development
181 Days+

“
Every single candidate begins
the onboarding process with
your company, but not all will
make it through the entire
process.

10.
The recruitment process serves as an introduction
into life at your company. Use this time to share
culture, vision, mission and general expectations.
Utilize Recruitment Marketing, Careers Pages, Job Ads and
Branded Social Sites to Begin the Onboarding Process.

11.
THE FIRST
days
SHOULD FOCUS ON WELCOMING, INGRAINING
CULTURE AND SETTING EXPECTATIONS

12.
“
After the initial 90 days,
reality starts to set in. It is
during this time that most
employees decide whether
they are going to stick
around.

13.
AFTER THE INITIAL ORIENTATION,
EMPLOYEES WANT
AUTONOMY
BUT STILL NEED ACCESS TO HELP,
GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT

14.
AFTER THE SIX MONTH MARK ONBOARDING
ACTIVITIES SHIFT TO FOCUS MORE ON
DEVELOPMENT, JOB ENLARGEMENT AND
ENRICHMENT AND CONTINUED SUPPORT

15.
“
Effective onboarding
programs ensure all
employees consistently
receive the same information,
support and development.
Thus ensuring higher levels
of success.
