Convince senior managers to participate in training sessions and other meetings with new employees. Show that your company takes onboarding seriously.
Appoint mentors
Build a formal plan for the collaboration of experienced employees and newcomers on the principle of mentoring. Focus on the fact that the mentors should have not only the right knowledge and skills, but also the time and interest to devote to the newcomers.
Ask for feedback
Don't end the onboarding process without asking for the newcomers' feedback. Ask what was the most useful help for them during their onboarding and what they missed.
