How To Instill Culture from Day 1 (AKA Onboarding) with Tara Montoya

In this episode, we jammed with People Ops Manager, Tara Montoya about how to create an amazing and fun onboarding experience for new employees that is infused with your company culture.

Key takeaways:

• The most common mistake is not putting enough time and effort into crafting a great onboarding experience.
• There are four key elements of effective onboarding: 1. Connections, 2. Checklists, 3. Presentation, and 4. Training.
• Helping new employees create connections is one of the most important things you can do during onboarding.
• New employee "buddies" give new team members a built in friend who can answer questions and help them feel welcomed (we call ours "Cheerios" 😀).
• You can't onboard effectively if you don't have a clear checklist of items for both you AND the new employee to complete.
