New guide to onboarding for HR professionals published

-

Our latest Guide for HR professionals has just been published and it covers a topic of perennial interest, onboarding.

Welcoming new team members can be tricky.  You want to make them feel welcome and also get them up-to-speed and working efficiently asap.

Both HR professionals and line managers will find our new Guide helpful in navigating the onboarding process.  You’ll learn about setting expectations, communication, training and more.  We also look at different models you can use for onboarding, such as the buddy system, job shadowing, rotational programmes and self-directed learning.  Finally, we offer some suggestions on how you can assess if your onboarding programme is successful.

Our Guides are a growing series of short introductions to the key questions HR professionals may have about particular aspects of HR.  Topics covered so far range from job analysis to learning and development and from internships to sexual harassment. You can also check out the complete collection at https://www.hrreview.co.uk/category/guides
