8 Ways To Connect New Employees To Company Culture
To uncover the best practices for making employees feel connected to company culture during onboarding, we asked eight top executives and HR professionals to share their strategies. From implementing a buddy system and group activities to creating an interactive onboarding experience, these leaders provide valuable insights into effective onboarding practices. Join us in this 8-parts reading series.
Part 1 of 8 – Communicate Values, Mission, and Vision
By clearly communicating our values, mission, and vision, we try to help employees feel connected to our company culture during their onboarding process. Whether remotely or in-person, we ensure that the relevant team members meet the new employee.
We also give the new team member access to all the necessary files and information they need in order to get started. There is also space for questions and clarifying expectations. And we share the team’s humorous “10 Commandments” for having a good time while at work. The purpose of our onboarding process is to foster a sense of community where everyone can thrive.
