But how does an effective induction work in seven days? 🤔
Integrating new employees is a crucial process that lays the foundation for their long-term success in the company. 🏆
It is important that employees have a smooth start in the company. Careful preparation and an induction concept are important for this. The employee should get to know the whole company so that he or she immediately feels part of it. 👐🏽
👉🏽 So encourage motivation and commitment right from the start.
The onboarding phase begins before the first day of work. All preparations should therefore be made in advance. For example, make sure that the employment contract is signed before the start and that software access and the workstation are set up.
Let your new employee know who their contact person is - be it their line manager or the HR manager. It is also important that the new employee receives all relevant information and materials.
Now you can start training your new employee. 🛫
On the first day, the employee should receive a warm welcome, ideally from a manager or direct supervisor. A short presentation about the history, company philosophy and general information provides the perfect introduction. 📚
Storytelling means conveying information through stories. Tell the story of the company's origins, challenges and successes. This creates an emotional connection and the employee better understands the importance of the company's values.
Explain the company's mission, vision and core values and how they are implemented in day-to-day work.
It is important to make this clear:
🔹 How are these values implemented in day-to-day work?
🔹 Why are they crucial for the long-term success of the company?
A tour of the office is also essential. Give the new employee a feeling of appreciation and an overview of the company. 🤩
A well-planned start is crucial to ensure that the new employee is motivated and prepared for their role.
On the second day, the focus is on the corporate structure and culture. This creates the basis for long-term cooperation. 🧱
At the same time, the new employee is integrated into the team in order to strengthen the sense of community and promote employee loyalty. 🫂
Corporate culture is at the heart of a company. It shapes how employees interact with each other and motivates them to communicate the shared values to the outside world.
A strong culture ensures committed, motivated and satisfied employees. New colleagues quickly feel at home and actively contribute to a positive working atmosphere. 💪🏽
A strong corporate culture is also a central component of employer branding. It positions the company as an attractive employer. This attracts potential applicants who share the same values and fit into the company.
A clear structure within the company supports smooth processes and ensures successful collaboration right from the start. 🤝🏽
What is part of the corporate structure?
The corporate structure defines the organizational arrangement and the system of roles.
It includes:
A structure for responsibilities ensures clarity. This allows you to achieve your company goals and achieve maximum efficiency and effectiveness in company management. 🎯
Introduction, roles and responsibilities in the team:
Now introduce your new employee to their new team. This can be done either in a formal team meeting or in a relaxed, informal setting, such as over lunch together. 👋🏽
Introduce your new employee to the team - either in a formal meeting or in a more informal setting. 👋🏽
Team leadership should communicate clear roles and responsibilities within the team. This enables new colleagues to understand their position and set expectations correctly from the outset.
Make it easier for new employees to get started. 🤗
The initial orientation is followed by an introduction to the working environment, both physical and digital.
Get to know important software tools
Your employee will receive a targeted introduction to the company's most important software tools:
Access to resources
Provide your new employees with training manuals, online tutorials, internal wikis and support channels for their onboarding at all times. Important information must be readily available so that support can be provided quickly if questions arise. Constant access to resources is crucial, especially when working from home. ☝🏽

On this day of the onboarding program, the focus is on on-the-job training. 🏋️
Theoretical knowledge is put into practice here in order to actively introduce the employee to their role. Also clarify the exact expectations, main tasks and success criteria.
After three days, the employee is ready to take on their first practical tasks. Choose these carefully to avoid excessive demands. 🚫
Provide your employee with a mentor. This way, questions can be clarified immediately. This creates security and makes integration easier. 💯
Practice is the best teacher. Let him actively participate in small projects. This is because "learning by doing" allows him to apply his theoretical knowledge directly. Meetings and everyday tasks help him to use tools and processes with confidence.
At the end of the day, your new employee should be confident enough to master the first simple tasks independently. This paves the way to full productivity. 🏃🏽
On the fifth day of onboarding, the focus is on consolidating what has already been learned. This is the time to further consolidate the new employee's knowledge and skills. Use process consolidation and targeted feedback to ensure that the employee can continuously improve. ⚙️
After the initial smaller tasks, the employee should now be increasingly involved in real projects. They work more independently, but continue to receive support from a mentor. This allows them to deepen their knowledge and gain confidence.
From the fifth day onwards, the employee can take on more demanding tasks after gaining initial practical experience. These should meet the requirements of their position and be challenging but feasible. This allows them to develop their skills without feeling overwhelmed. 🫂
By actively participating in projects, he quickly settles into his role. Right from the start, they have the feeling that they are making a valuable contribution. This strengthens long-term employee loyalty.
On the sixth day of onboarding, the focus is on networking and integration. Successful integration into the social and professional environment strengthens the sense of belonging and promotes employee loyalty in the long term. 🪢
The 6th day offers the opportunity to reflect on previous team experiences. Joint projects, activities and informal discussions promote integration. The employee feels like a valuable part of the team, which increases motivation and performance. 📈
A strong internal network is crucial for the success and well-being of employees. It facilitates collaboration, promotes knowledge sharing and helps to effectively overcome challenges in everyday working life. Networking allows new employees to build important relationships and settle into the company more quickly. 😇
Targeted team-building activities and workshops strengthen trust within the team and improve communication. These measures promote cooperation and help new employees to quickly feel at home in their team. 🥰
A structured networking approach promotes the integration of new employees and strengthens the sense of togetherness. This forms the basis for successful collaboration and long-term commitment to the company.
On the seventh day of the onboarding process, the focus is on completing the first week. The focus is on reflection, feedback and planning the next steps. This rounds off the onboarding process and optimally prepares the employee for the coming weeks. 🔨
The day begins with a reflection on the first week. The employee shares their impressions and experiences with their mentor or supervisor. Milestones achieved are discussed, successes acknowledged and possible improvements identified.
Both sides give feedback in the final meeting. As a mentor, give recognition for previous achievements and constructive advice. The open discussion strengthens trust and motivation and forms a solid basis for further cooperation. 🤲🏽
The next steps are determined in the final meeting: Training, gradual assumption of responsibility and involvement in larger projects. Create an individual development plan with clear goals and timeframes. This allows you to keep an eye on progress and respond to the employee's needs. ⏳
Provide an overview of long-term development opportunities. In doing so, address potential career paths, further training opportunities and support in achieving goals. This not only strengthens trust in personnel development, but also lays the foundation for successful collaboration.
A well-structured onboarding process is crucial for the success and retention of new employees. The first seven days lay the foundation for social integration, understanding the corporate culture and professional development. 🪨
