New Employee Onboarding

Employee retention has proven to be healthier in companies with a more robust onboarding process. Companies don't invest in this enough mainly because of the high level of coordination and structure required. 

Avvanz orchestrates the entire New Employee Onboarding starting from the date the employee signs the Offer Letter. We ensure the new employees hit the ground running in the quickest time. We will emphasise on aligning the new hires with company vision, strategy, business model, brand, organizational structure, dynamics, culture and skills & competencies needed.

Onboarding is not just about induction or orientation. It is about integration - integrating the new joiner to make the individual a fully functioning member of the team as quickly and smoothly as possible. 

A full end-to-end Onboarding Program should consist of the following:

• All content that the employees need to familiar with, can be in form of Digital Learning Modules. This can also cover the administrative arrangements, business orientation, legal and procedural formalities, alignment with supervisors, stakeholders and peers and culture familiarization, 
• Induction Program with each Department can kick off with short videos of senior leaders, perhaps 90 seconds each, to welcome and onboard the employees. Virtual Reality can be incorporated to transport the employees to various offices, centres and manufacturing floors of the organization.
• Scenario based storyboard can be implemented in a game-based learning format where employees can be tasked with a challenge by a senior leader transforming the entire learning journey into a discovery mode. 
• Social dinner/drinks session can be arranged with the key stakeholders to stoke their enthusiasm and answer any queries they might have. This creates a social learning environment. 
• Warm and welcoming forums can be put in place to ensure the new employes can air any questions they might have. These sessions can be made interactive to maximize social integration and employee engagement. 
• Micro-Learning Bites through mobile platforms will enhance the entire learning experience.  These easily digestible chunked up contents increase learning retention and support an effective learning transfer. 
• Gamification can be incorporated with features like leaderboard, badges, certificates and points to redeem gifts to heighten the engagement level.
