OnboardingWhat it means, in plain English

Onboarding is the process of taking a new starter from accepted offer to productive employee, covering contracts, right-to-work checks, payroll setup, training and introductions. In the UK, employees and workers must receive a written statement of main terms on or before their first day. Good onboarding in shift-based businesses also means getting the new starter onto the rota, into the time clock and through mandatory training before their first shift.
