Here are several examples of how companies conduct onboarding.

The articles discusses the benefits gained from a strong onboarding process. More importantly, it addresses that onboarding is not successful when it is regarded as a one or two day process. It is ongoing processes for several months.

Onboarding programs are the first experience many employees will have with an organization. Keep them interested and keep it simple.

Enjoyed the simple format that can easily be put into action. Also the link to creating metrics as that feels like a difficult part to draft without some ideas.

By keeping it simple, in my opinion, makes everyone feel balanced in the first few months of employment with a new company.

The five keys allies to more than policing.  

I agree, practical advice that can go far in most organizations.

On the SHRM website they have great information for all sorts of HR topics. Click on the "download your free report" as this is a great tool for onboarding. They discuss the Four C's (Compliance, Clarification, Culture, Connection).

The SHRM website is a great website to visit on a lot of HR related topics. I would recommend it as a useful website.

Looks like we all like this website. Solid practical advice given in the article.

resources that can be used.

Good resources, interesting what all can be looked into or at.

Effective employee onboarding has a positive domino effect: it ensures that new hires feel welcome and prepared in their new positions, in turn giving them the confidence and resources to make an impact within the organization, and ultimately allowing the company to continue carrying out its mission.

Interesting (not really related to on boarding at all but good talk)

Leadership related-  Not on-boarding so much. Just an interesting article.  The Book may also be good but I need to do a little more research on the author before I will say that it is or will be worth the money.  

With strong competition prevalent for all levels of talented professionals, it's no surprise that employee retention is a key initiative for many organizations across the board. 

Really like these ideas and I think they can be tweaked for any job role. Especially the prep before the employee starts and their first days. We need this where I work

Very interesting contrast on first day of a new employee

I have seen both of these first days occur and it does make a huge difference in how a person feels about the new organization.

It is funny because as absurd as the bad first day is portrayed it happens more than it should.

Onboarding without an HR department….views of 2 experts!

I liked the ideas and will help when I go to look at my site that doesn't seem to have much in place in an organized fashion.

Some good information on Best Practices.

Forbes article

Good article, nice to see the 7 C's and an observation point from a leadership level owning up to be a contributing factor for new employee success rate.

There it is again with that compatible non-sense. That is why organizations get jammed up in lawsuits, and lose huge sums of money. Its a whole new generation of employers thinking that they should hire based on "Cultural matches" which are made up in the first place. That is a preference, and it cannot be articulated on the bench in front of a jury of 12. If you can't defend it, then don't make it a core competency or requirement. Make it a subfield, or a preference.

Create template design for new employee onboarding

Good foundation to start from using the information in this article.

Good ideas for starting an onboarding plan and ideas to being. Will come in use as I develop a plan

Callie - good article - onboarding should start with the first click - I was reviewing my company's website today and for the career section, it's down until the 10th, not a good sign for those seeking opportunities with FFIC.

A case for standardizing the onboarding process

Stephen - great TED Talk - I dare that the items addressed here are just as important for internal promotions as well.

What is the "true" cost of onboarding?

All employees experience some type of onboarding, although the formality and comprehensiveness of onboarding programs varies widely across organizations.
