Orientation of New Staff

Step 2: Needs Assessment

  • Review the practices on how to onboard a new staff member, what topics are covered, and who usually handles which parts of the process. If an organisation does not yet have a formal induction and orientation process, it still likely has some informal practices on how to onboard a new staff member.
  • Match the existing practices with the standard elements of induction, using the Induction and Orientation Checklist to identify gaps. Also think about needs unique to the organisation that need to be addressed in onboarding.
