Why is this a problem?
Many organizations don’t have an onboarding process for new members, which can cause several problems including:
- New members may have to figure things out on their own or rely on friends or colleagues for guidance.
- Members can feel overwhelmed, unsure of what’s expected, or confused about how to work with others.
- The amount and complexity of information can be intimidating, especially if there’s no guidance on where to start and could cause new members to leave.
- For members with accessibility needs, accommodations may not be put in place early enough.
