Episode notes

Melony and her co founders have taken their handcrafted approach to on boarding users and applied it to employees too. Melony: "We spend a lot of time trying to perfect the on boarding experience for our team members" She says that getting workers to full productivity is only the first part of employ on boarding. The second part is giving them the feeling that they are fully integrated into the team, she adds.

Onboarding isn't just about employees. The often overlooked step-by-step process — to join a product or company — lays the foundation for everything that follows. No one knows this better than Melanie Perkins, co-founder and CEO of Canva. From the moment she started the Australia-based graphic design platform, she knew she had to engage newcomers with simplicity and speed. It took a series of steps: onboard users to her product, one-by-one; onboard investors to help her build; onboard employees in a way that would pass along her values and her vision. Then onboard new investors, new features, new partners, new markets with the same care and ease-of-use — but at scale. With more than 40 million monthly active users and 3 billion designs created, Canva is proof for the magic of onboarding. Cameos: Ron White (Memory Expert).
