2. The first few weeks on the job are filled with
excitement, expectation and anticipation for
both the hiring manager as well as the new hire.
3. At Artisan Creative, we use the
onboarding equation to welcome
new hires to the team.
ONE-TWO-ONE
4. This process helps HR welcome the new team member,
devise a good orientation plan, and set expectations
early... and often.
It also gives new hires an opportunity to learn, ask
questions and get acclimated to the role.
