Bad onboarding is like being thrown into a group of people doing the same dance together and not knowing the dance. That's not fun! Onboarding is the critical moment when the employee is deciding if they made the right decision or not. It's supposed to ease them into their new position and train them on how to do the 'dance' that everyone else is doing.

Find out in this episode what a good onboarding process looks like and how you can improve yours!

Topics discussed:

• Onboarding is like being in the middle of a flash dance and not knowing the moves
• Onboarding is like the end part of a honeymoon ("Uh oh. Did I make a mistake?) 
• Fixing your onboarding process is a marathon not a sprint, you won't fix it in one day
• Yes, onboarding is big. But you'll never get 2 uninterrupted weeks to fix it the way you wish you could.
