Thinking about the onboarding process for your employees may feel different, but now you are responsible for training new employees and it is your job to ensure that each new team member has a great experience at your company.
There are several ways to make the employee onboarding process exciting, as well as common pitfalls for what makes an employee onboarding program boring. It’s so important to consider how to start building employee engagement before your new team members start on day one.
As a manager, it is your responsibility to intentionally train new employees. New employees will remember this if they are thrown into meetings unprepared.

Here is a checklist to consider for your new hire’s onboarding process:
- How can I make your employee onboarding process fun, even when everyone is online or working remotely?
- What does my new employee need for onboarding from HR documents / services to job-specific training?
- Is there a way to use current employees or management for storytelling in our new onboarding?

- How can we collect feedback from our new employees after completing the initial new employee training? What can be done to improve our new hire’s onboarding experience?
Engaging your new hires goes beyond providing a company t-shirt and computer for an employee. It’s about getting to know the mission, vision and core values of your company and educating your new employees about what your product / service is actually doing in order to integrate them into your company culture.
At curricula, we use storytelling as the basis for our eLearning content. The characters you see in this book are from our animated online training episodes
* Faildoze * is a term we use as a warning sign of possible danger. Much like a bulldozer, when you fail at something this hard, you just get knocked down or you’ve knocked someone else down – that means being a faildozer. We don’t want to make any new hires.
