New Employee Onboarding

Project details

What we need
  • A written document that identifies the Organization's timeline, onboarding goals, recommended responsibilities and support for new hire success:
  • An onboarding checklist and timeline template that can be completed by the Organization for each new hire
  • A suggested checklist and template outlining onboarding methods the Organization should pursue to meet its goals (human resources and information technology materials, department presentations, mentor assignment, skill sharing, etc.)
  • Recommendations on how to delegate onboarding responsibilities within the Organization or department, if applicable
  • A short plan for communicating with the new hire prior to their first day of work
Additional details

We are planning for onboarding of future employees. This is a process that we do not have a lot of experience with and are hoping to gain a better understanding and a template to outline the process.

What we have in place
  • We currently have an employee handbook, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated staff member for this project, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,686 , allowing us to grant more funds to local nonprofits instead of using operation funds on our own organization.

Onboarding a new employee can make a big difference in their impression of the organization. We hope to empower new employees to see themselves at the organization and to reach their full potential.
