New employee onboarding process in an organization

  Nikhita Kumar,  Dr. Suruchi Pandey

The objective of the study is to analyse the present on boarding process in the organization and to find the most critical phase of the on boarding process in the organization. Not at all like customary employee induction or orientation, onboarding is an orderly process that develops well past day or week of employment. The objective of the onboarding procedure is to develop a long haul relationship between the business and the worker while encouraging a sentiment having a place and a confirmation of settling on the right decision. The study has been carried out by a survey through surveymonkey, face to face and telephonic conversation.The target respondents were 305 out of which 123 responded. So the sample size was data collected from 123 new joinees. The findings of the study were that majority of respondents were not satisfied with the present onboarding process in the organization. The satisfaction percentage of new employees was good only in phase I i.e the pre joining phase. After that the satisfaction levels drop down in subsequent phases.The findings also reveal thatthe most critical phase is phase II i.e first day at work. The satisfaction level of new employees drops down from 70% in phase I to as low as 30% in phase II which is a major fall and a call for concern. If an employee doesn’t feel welcomed on Day 1 then the chances of his/her leaving the organization within few months to one year increases. The benefit of this research project is that it will provide the reader with data and statistics of a general viewpoint of new hires in the organization about the onboarding process. It will also provide them with certain suggestions to make the onboarding process effective.
