Onboarding goes beyond extra support on the first day or week. Pre-boarding and regular follow-ups are also part of a good onboarding process.

• Pre-boarding: Keep in touch with new employees from the moment they are hired. It's important that your new employee immediately feels like part of the team and knows where they stand.
• Onboarding: Provide a thorough introduction to the company, the team and the role. This will help your new hire get up to speed faster.
• Follow-up: Schedule a formal call after one month, after 3 months, after 6 months and after one year to discuss performance and progress.
