What is Onboarding and Why is it Important?

Onboarding is the process of introducing new employees to the company culture, expectations, and goals. It is also a mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors in order to become effective in their role and responsibilities. Onboarding also helps to create a positive work environment by making sure that new employees are integrated into the organization and that they understand the company's values, mission, and policies.  It is an important part of any organization's success and helps to ensure that new hires are productive, engaged, and motivated.

For those in the Hospitality Industry, and especially human resources, this is a reality they handle on a daily basis. The hospitality industry must appeal to top talent through training, leadership, and modern tools in order to grapple with a staggering 73.8% employee turnover rate. There exists a gap between what organizations and recruiters are seeking, and what prospects seek and expect from employers that contribute to high turnover.
