Preboarding is the step before onboarding, when new hires get to meet the organization and take care of some bureaucratic details before their first day.

Why is preboarding important?

As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Even though your candidate may not even be working for you yet, you should still treat them in a way that lets them know that they matter and that they’ve made the right decision.

How does preboarding make hires feel at home?

Even though you recruited a great candidate for your organization, there’s a fierce and ongoing battle today for top talent. That battle doesn’t end the second a candidate accepts a role in your organization.

What should be included in preboarding?

In your preboarding program, it’s vital that you include information that familiarizes your new hire with your organization so that they can get a head start on their new job.
