What Is Onboarding? | HR Glossary | BambooHR
The process of integrating a new employee into the organisation so they become effective and engaged.
Onboarding is the structured process of welcoming and integrating a new hire — from before their first day through their early months — so they understand their role, connect with colleagues and become productive.
It goes well beyond induction paperwork, encompassing culture, relationships, expectations and the support a new starter needs to succeed and feel they belong.
Strong onboarding improves early engagement, speeds up time-to-productivity and significantly reduces the risk of early departures. An HRIS helps automate and standardise the experience.
