Introduce new employees to the company and team culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1048652996-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"employee onboarding\" class=\"wp-image-6431\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1048652996-2-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1048652996-2-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1048652996-2-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you should do when onboarding a new employee is to introduce them to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/organizational-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">company and team culture<\/a>. Cultural fit and how well an employee understands the values of a new workplace will have a tremendous influence on how well they integrate into a new position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/go.walkme.com\/l\/455712\/2017-11-23\/d2qyhn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CultureIQ<\/a> poll of 28,371 employees identified that work environment, support systems, and mission and value alignment are the cultural factors that have the greatest impact on employee satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By paving the way for new hires to understand their role in the organization and how they contribute to the vision, they will be able to adapt much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Provide comprehensive software training and support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The vast majority of knowledge workers\u2019 jobs today are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/5-employee-training-and-development-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">performed on enterprise software<\/a>, platforms, and apps. That means the need to efficiently navigate numerous systems and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/digital-fatigue-business-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">complete business processes<\/a> is a core competency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Failing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/employee-training-manual-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">provide adequate training<\/a> and support for enterprise technology learning is the kiss of death in onboarding. Not only will your employees become frustrated and stressed about their work performance, they will also produce worse outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not understanding how to complete business processes correctly leads to errors, compromised data integrity, and the greater likelihood your employees will \u201cdrop off,\u201d or quit a process altogether. But with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/contextual-learning-employee-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a comprehensive solution<\/a> that provides 24\/7, tailored support, employees will never need to worry. They can learn as they complete tasks, even if they are completely unfamiliar, and access real-time, proactive support in the moment of need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Set and understand expectations for the role<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_263495984-1.jpg\" alt=\"employee onboarding\" class=\"wp-image-6433\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_263495984-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_263495984-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_263495984-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly explaining the responsibilities and expectations that come with a new position is a vital component of your employee onboarding manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without clear mutual understanding of what\u2019s expected of the new hire, misunderstandings and differences are inevitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting expectations out early can also help to reduce the risk of poor performance as employees will know what they need to be doing to meet targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Introduce them to mentors and resources throughout the company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees will automatically be more engaged and committed to their role if they view it as an opportunity to advance their careers. Most employees have aspirations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/employee-development-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">developing their skills and experience<\/a>. You\u2019ll put yourself at a disadvantage if you don\u2019t go out of your way to facilitate that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to clarifying expectations of the role, ask them about their personal ambitions. Then, determine who in the company is the best resource for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you introduce your new hire to someone for a single lunch, or they establish a formal mentorship, you will demonstrate a strong commitment to their indivudal development by facilitating the connection. This will go a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Assign a buddy to new hires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1034378632-1.jpg\" alt=\"employee training\" class=\"wp-image-6432\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1034378632-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1034378632-1.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.walkme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_1034378632-1.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It may sound trivial, but assigning new employees a buddy to help them cover the ins and outs of working at the company has proved to be  one of the most popular methods of employee onboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hci.org\/files\/field_content_file\/2016%20Talent%20Pulse%20TA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HCI<\/a> survey finds that 87% of organizations that assign an ambassador or buddy during onboarding discover that it\u2019s an effective way to speed up new hire proficiency and get them acclimated to the culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A buddy can guide new hires through their first steps and provide their extra tips for success in the new company. It is also a good way for a new hire to get to know someone they\u2019ll be working alongside every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exceptional onboarding attracts and retains employees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various techniques and strategies your HR leaders can use to handle the online onboarding process, but there are some basic tips that work for almost all situations.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benefits of a well-designed employee onboarding manual can be monumental.
