Key Points
The Two-Tiered Approach to Onboarding:
Part 1: First day on the job
Keep it short (1.5-2 hours long).
What are the essential things an employee needs to know?
Get to the why of the employee’s job. What’s the meaning and mission behind the organization?
After Part 1 your employee should feel informed, excited, and motivated.
Part 2: About 45 days after hire
Longer than Tier 1, should be around 3 hours long
Covers what team members need to know to grow their jobs.
After Part 2, your employee should feel educated, excited, and confident.
