What is an 'onboarding process' for sponsored workers?

The onboarding process for sponsored workers refers to the comprehensive set of procedures designed to integrate new employees into an organization effectively. This not only involves familiarizing them with company culture, policies, and procedures, but also ensuring that they feel welcomed and equipped to succeed in their new roles. A well-structured onboarding process typically includes orientation sessions, introductions to team members, and training on necessary tools or systems they will be using.

While some aspects of onboarding might include specific training offered during the first week of employment, it encompasses much more than just initial training. Similarly, evaluating employee performance or assigning job duties are important components of the overall employment experience but are not synonymous with onboarding, which focuses largely on the initial integration of the employee into the company environment.
