During the onboarding process, have a close look at how your employees interact with the process. Two systems that are important during onboarding: Benefits and compensation. Cultural communications. Make sure you cover timekeeping, payroll, compliance, scheduling on your onboarding. Your goals could be: To take someone who is enthusiastic to start working in your company to being moderately affected by their job with some ability to make decisions without a process. After that, put it the steps you could think about and make your onboarding a process. Make sure to put it in place live within the field of your employees. Ensure that you improve your process over time. Some key concepts in installing people processes in your business: Breakdown your employee lifecycle into four broad stages. Onboarding Offboarding Annual review. Adhoc events. Systemizing these processes shouldn’t have to be specifically written out with every detail. You may initially determine the major steps and refine it as you go. Make sure you define a goal for each of these processes.
