A great onboarding experience involves plenty of forms, a few handshakes, and a small chance of a working laptop - or so it might seem. But does it have to be so bureaucratic? We think not. On this week's GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by the CIPD's David Hayden and GP Strategies' Danny Seals to explore a better approach. We discuss the link between recruitment and onboarding, the role of the manager, and the characteristics of a great experience. And we take a stab at defending the word 'onboarding'.
