New Hire Handbook
Create a collection of essential knowledge for your new hires.
It's worth including a map of the site and the company in the onboarding knowledge base for new joiners. It's also a good idea to share the contact details of the leadership team and the direct manager(s), complete with photos. The same goes for the colleagues who can be contacted in important and/or urgent matters. In addition, publish the other important need-to-knows in the new hires' digital handbook: information about the canteen, smoking rules, changing rooms, etc. Instant access to the basics supports new colleagues' integration. Their new workplace becomes comfortable for them sooner, they're more satisfied with the welcome they receive, and a bond with the employer can form faster.
