The onboarding process, key in talent retention

The onboarding process or welcome program is a set of activities that a company carries out with the aim of integrating a new employee into its culture, values, and operations.

These processes are usually the product of various actions linked to orientation, training, and integration with teams, although each organization usually personalizes them according to its characteristics and the specific requirements of each job position.

This process is a critical aspect for the correct integration and retention of people who join our organization, as it represents one of the first experiences they have with the company.

A good welcome program equips the person with knowledge about the role and responsibilities of the job position, as well as the tools and systems used by the company. It aims to help new members understand the expectations, policies, and procedures of the organization.

Another important aspect of an onboarding process is that it helps to establish a positive culture in the company. By providing new workers with information about the culture, values, and expectations of the organization, they are helped to understand how to fit in and contribute to its success.

At the same time, a good welcome improves employee retention. When they feel valued and understood in their new job, they are more likely to stay with the company and develop more effectively and efficiently. This can reduce the costs associated with staff turnover and improve the overall productivity of the company.

In conclusion, a good onboarding process is essential for talent retention and the success of any organization. It is crucial that companies develop and constantly update their welcome processes to provide new employees with a positive and valuable experience in their new job, which helps them to feel more secure and valued. It will be key to establishing a positive and lasting relationship between the company and the new members of the organization.
