Ep. 7 - The Onboarding Checklist Every HR Team Needs

On this episode of eLearning Talks, Angela and Dimitra map out how to build an onboarding process that reduces confusion, improves productivity, and keeps new hires from checking out on day one. They distinguish onboarding from orientation, break the process into practical phases, and show why culture, manager prep, and role-specific training matter just as much as paperwork. They also outline the common mistakes that create disengagement, including information overload, poor pre-onboarding communication, and weak manager ownership.
