Summary
- Using a combination of both offline and online resources in your on-boarding process is most effective;
- Content is most important and must be relevant to the site, role and responsibilities that the person coming on board will have;
- Identify key issues that can be assessed to determine the effectiveness of the induction process; and,
- Avoid an information overload – consider staging the induction process over a short period of time, like a mini development plan.
