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 7 of 8 – Create An Interactive Onboarding Experience
One of the biggest issues with onboarding is that there’s a lot of information directed in a one-way learning approach where the new employee is expected to digest and learn too much. This can sometimes be overwhelming, unproductive, and a waste of time. Instead, we focus on making the onboarding experience more interactive and engaging, which instantly reflects our company culture and work environment.
By creating a series of tasks, the new candidate will be exposed to a hands-on experience with different team members and departments, and is expected to perform an activity, engage with others, or learn by doing. This helps create a more fun and productive onboarding experience.
