It doesn’t matter if it’s the first day on a new job. The first day of school. Or first day in a new class.

First impressions matter.

Along with lots of practical strategies you can implement right away!

There is a lot riding on an awesome onboarding experience. It can improve productivity, build loyalty, increase comfort and competence, help employees experience successes early on, demonstrate an organization’s commitment to supporting new employees and help them begin to form relationships.
