Formal on-boarding procedures: an implementation model for XYZ Company

Abstract

This study examines the significance of encompassing formal on-boarding procedures and designing an implementation model for XYZ Company to follow. XYZ Company currently lacks formal on-boarding procedures and does have a concern with assimilating new employees with the company, such as expectations, culture, policies and procedures. XYZ Company's on-boarding procedures were evaluated against on-boarding benchmarks. Where XYZ Company on-boarding procedures lacked, an implementation model was created to employ, including recommendations for implementation. It has been revealed by investing time on-boarding a new employee; retention increases, time to become productive increases and employee morale increases.
