Onboarding

Welcome

Onboarding is the process of welcoming, acclimating and providing new team members with tools, resources and knowledge to become successful and productive.

Onboarding starts before team members begin and often lasts through the first year of employment. On this website you will find checklists, templates, and other resources to help you and your new team member with the first 90 days of onboarding.

We will regularly add content to the page to assist you. As the supervisor and new team member, you are both critical links in this process and we have tools and resources to help you to be successful.

If you can’t find the answer to your questions or you have any other feedback, please let us know by completing our feedback form.
