Team onboarding 101

Learn how to create a supportive and engaging onboarding experience for your new hire.

Here’s the truth…

The sink or swim approach is NOT working.

Take a moment and think back to a time when you were hired for a new role. You’re excited and ready to dive in…

But you received little to no support so you couldn’t understand what was going on, and even though everyone was nice, you wish you had some guidance so you could show up and deliver your best work.

So now, you’re on the other side and you want things to be different (read: BETTER) but onboarding a new team member isn’t going as planned. You’re noticing…

  • More Chaos – As the boss, you want to lead your team with confidence and clarity. But without a structured onboarding process, it’s like trying to navigate a ship without a compass.
  • Disjointed company culture – You want everyone to feel valued, supported, and motivated to do their best work. But instead of a cohesive team, you’ve got a bunch of individuals doing their own thing.
  • Preventable mistakes – We’re all human, and mistakes happen. But without the proper training and support, little slip-ups turn into big headaches. From sending an email to the wrong person to misunderstanding a project brief, the consequences of not knowing the ins and outs of your role can add up fast.
  • High turnover – Now you have to go through the whole hiring process again (which, let’s be real, is a headache in itself), but you’re also shelling out cash left and right for recruiting, training, and onboarding new folks. It’s like trying to fill a leaky bucket—no matter how much water you pour in, it keeps draining out.


This is not what you had in mind when you decided to hire.



And it’s not just difficult for you, cause now your new hire is…

  • Feeling lost – Imagine walking into a new job and not having a clue where to start. You spend more time figuring things out than actually getting stuff done. It’s like trying to solve a puzzle with half the pieces missing!
  • Ready to exit – When new hires don’t feel like they’re getting the support they need to succeed, they’re more likely to jump ship and find a new workplace where they feel appreciated and included.
  • Feeling lonely – It’s tough to feel like you belong when you’re not given the chance to understand the team’s dynamics and culture. Without proper onboarding, you’re an outsider looking in, struggling to find your place and make those meaningful connections that can make all the difference in your work life.
  • Struggling to be productive – The lack of proper onboarding can make even the simplest tasks feel like climbing a mountain. You want to contribute and be effective, but without the right guidance, it’s like trying to swim upstream.


Your onboarding is your first opportunity to make a great impression and show your new hire what it’d be like working with you.

That’s why you need a team onboarding process that’s crystal clear and reminds them why they should commit to you.
