Onboarding is a two way street - as a supervisor, you play a primary role in the process. However, the new employee must take responsibility for learning the details of their role and begin to perform their job duties. In addition, encourage new employees to ask questions to learn about their role, co-workers, organizational culture and leverage their strengths.

Use this to set broad annual goals and short-term, specific goals throughout the year.

Onboarding is the process of transforming a new employee into a fully functioning member of your team. When done effectively, it is a powerful employee engagement strategy that helps cultivate long-term relationships, promote an understanding of organizational culture, and foster a sense of belonging.
