On-boarding Employees: A Waste of Time, or a Strategic HR Advantage?

Hiring and training a new employee is often just as stressful for managers as it is for the new hire. Preparing the necessary paperwork, outlining job responsibilities (especially if you’re creating a new position), and making sure the employee knows the ins and outs of your company are all important aspects of hiring that can quickly become overwhelming. With effective orientation and mainstreaming procedures—also known as employee onboarding—you can significantly reduce stress and create a smooth transition for everyone involved.
