Employee onboarding, the Slack way

Welcome aboard!

You can tell a lot—some say everything— about a company by the way it welcomes new employees.

Onboarding isn’t just a demonstration of your company culture; it’s one of the critical employee engagements that defines, creates, and promotes that culture.

Get it right, and good things happen:

• New hires feel better about the company
• They ramp up to full productivity faster
• They stay more aligned with company goals
• They’re more engaged
• They stay longer

Get it wrong, and the reverse gear kicks in: People feel less engaged, take longer to reach productivity, and leave sooner.

In short, onboarding is a critical HR process and the gateway to the kind of great employee experiences that drive the world’s most successful companies.
