Hi there,

How can you make your onboarding better?

When starting a new project or onboarding new talent, getting caught up in the next steps, excited about moving onwards to tangible matters can be tempting.

But how do we set that new relationship up for success? As with any other employee, it is key to set up a process to: 

• Introduce the people and team members.
• Share the collaboration and communication processes.
• Inform about the project's style or brand guidelines.
• Prepare a portfolio of past success (instead of giving them access to an extensive archive).
• Assign a co-worker to whom the newcomers can turn to, over those first weeks of adaptation.

In an online and on-demand world, it matters to build Connection and Confidence aligned with the company's Culture, just as we would in the "office". These are just 3 out of the 5 Cs of the traditional onboarding process. Check out the article featured below if you are curious for more. 

"When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute."
