Millennial Onboarding

Millennial Onboarding is a specialized type of employee onboarding. With Millennials we are seeing a need to tweak the onboarding process to better suit the needs of the company and new hires.

It will increase productivity and produce a happier and more skilled workforce. The new hire phase is a critical time for the employee and company and having a structured set of procedures will make this time run smoother and produce a greater chance of success.

  • Define onboarding;
  • Discuss the characteristics of Millennials;
  • Create an onboarding process for Millennials;
