Onboarding helps new hires adjust to social, cultural and performance expectations of the workplace so that they can become quickly engaged and productive. Onboarding is a process that focuses on transferring organizational, team, and role specific knowledge to new employees. It leads to early engagement of new employees by giving them the insight into the organization's culture and strategic direction, making them feel welcome within the organization and helping them plan their own career development & personal advancement.
