Millennial Onboarding
Millennials – those born between 1981 and 1997 – make up about 40% of the workforce in the United States. These workers bring a unique outlook to their jobs, and may also pose unique challenges. Taking time to customize the onboarding process for millennial employees helps promote employee retention and ensures that millennials are properly integrated into the workplace. Customizing the onboarding process for millennial employees benefits the employee and the workplace.
Purpose of Onboarding
Onboarding is one of the most important investments organizations make in their employees. A sound onboarding process not only gathers the necessary paperwork from a new hire, but socializes them into the workplace and the job. Onboarding is more than just new hire orientation; it is a continuous process of integrating the new hire into the organization by helping them develop as a team member and offering necessary feedback. Far from a one-time event, the onboarding process can encompass the first 180 days of a new hire’s tenure at your organization.
Onboarding new employees is a secure investment that will assist newly hired employees in developing their skills, knowledge, and value within your company. It will help match the technically skilled Millennial workforce with new and emerging needs of your company, offering a competitive advantage.
Onboarding millennials is a specialized type of employee onboarding. With Millennials, we are seeing a need to tweak the onboarding process to better suit the needs of the company and new hires. It will increase productivity and produce a happier and more skilled workforce. The new hire phase is a critical time for the employee and the company; having a structured procedure will make this time run smoother and produce a greater chance of success.
