Why I built a dedicated home for intros and walkthroughs
Problem
I realized that our team’s onboarding process was disorganized.
Apart from the company-wide onboarding new hires receive from HR, we also welcome them to our specific team, however, our approach wasn’t great. As we oriented our latest group of hires, I was somewhat embarrassed. I recognized that we had a mix of documents in various places; we relied on guidance from our existing staff; and we had an unfair expectation that new folks hit the ground running by doing some figuring out on their own.
Solution
I used our publishing platform to produce a user-friendly resource that makes new hires feel welcomed and taken seriously.
I gathered our key material from drives and spreadsheets and wikis and organized it into a usable package that helps new hires. The new onboarding resource gives them an introductory activity to look forward to and also teaches them about our team’s work and culture.
Result
