Hiring Manager’s Onboarding Toolkit

Onboarding is a long-term process (usually the first year) as the New Hire learns about their role, how they fit into the agency, receives guidance, tools and resources, and gains knowledge to be successful.

Success Starts with You

Hiring Managers ensure that each New Hire has a great onboarding experience which will encourage them to remain in the position and become an engaged and productive employee.
