Identify existing onboarding process gaps
This task involves identifying any gaps or weaknesses in the current onboarding process. By pinpointing these areas, we can develop a plan to improve the process and enhance the experience for new hires. Consider various aspects such as paperwork, training, resources, and communication. Share your findings and suggestions for improvement. What are the biggest challenges faced by new hires? How can we streamline the onboarding process to address these issues?
Propose a process to resolve identified gaps
Based on the identified gaps and weaknesses in the onboarding process, propose a plan to address and resolve them. This plan should outline specific steps and actions to be taken to improve the onboarding experience. Consider factors like automation, digitization, and simplification. How can we optimize the process to make it more efficient and effective? What resources or tools might be required for the proposed improvements?

Who are the key stakeholders and team members that need to be involved in this project?
Define team roles and responsibilities
To ensure a clear understanding of everyone's roles and responsibilities within the project team, define and document them in this task. This will help streamline communication, clarify expectations, and optimize collaboration. Who will be responsible for managing the overall project? Who will oversee specific aspects such as training, documentation, or communication?
Develop an onboarding process improvement plan
In order to implement the proposed improvements effectively, develop a detailed plan that outlines the specific steps, timelines, and resources required.

How will you conduct the training sessions? What training materials or resources will be provided? How will you gather feedback from the trainees?
Perform a trial run of the new process
Before fully implementing the new onboarding process, conduct a trial run to identify any potential issues or areas for further improvement. This can be done by selecting a small group of new hires or volunteers to go through the revised onboarding process. Collect feedback and evaluate the effectiveness of the new process.
