Thanks to new automated technologies, onboarding can be handled by one person. But the most effective processes involve key stakeholders from around the company. For example, executives may be responsible for introductions to company culture, big picture mission statements and a motivating welcome message. An assigned sponsor, mentor or manager is responsible for showing the new hire around the workplace and for making introductions, as well as answering any work-related questions the new employee may have. A direct supervisor may be charged with making assignments, teaching processes and goals, introducing new clients and evaluating performance.
