Onboarding

Part of being a manager means helping to facilitate a successful onboarding experience for your new employees.  Successful onboarding is essential for maximizing the success of both your new employee and the University as a whole.

Organizations with a standardized onboarding process experience greater new hire productivity, along with greater new hire retention.

1. Onboarding new employees properly can help them become productive and efficient in their roles more quickly. Proper onboarding provides them with the necessary information, tools, and resources they need to perform their job responsibilities effectively. This can lead to faster integration into the team and the University.
2. Effective onboarding also contributes to higher employee retention and engagement. When new employees feel welcomed, supported, and valued during the onboarding process, it sets a positive tone for their overall experience with the University. This can help foster a sense of loyalty and commitment.
3. Lastly, onboarding is an opportunity to introduce new employees to the University’s culture and values. By sharing BU’s mission, vision, values, and goals, managers can help new employees align their own values with those of the University. This can foster a sense of belonging and a deeper connection to the broader BU community.
