Onboarding Best Practices Certification

Onboarding Best Practices Certificate

Onboarding is the process of introducing a new employee to your company’s culture, procedures and policies. It is a very important part of the recruitment process across positions and industries.

Investing in your onboarding practices is the best way in which to ensure that all your new employees are productive and efficient members of your organisation. Repeat studies show that companies with a robust onboarding policy have higher levels of employee satisfaction and much lower turnover rates. There are numerous benefits to learning onboarding best practices and implementing them at your place of work.

This course goes into detail about the best practices in onboarding, ensuring the success of the individual you hire as well as your organisation.

We begin by talking about onboarding in general terms, giving you an introduction to the concept.

Next, we discuss the important role that your human resources department plays in the onboarding process. The different ways in which you can approach onboarding are also covered, including the three most popular choices in the UK.
