Welcome to Top Tip #38

This is my penultimate Emerging Talent Onboarding top tip. Top tip number 38. And the good news is if you've taken half of my other top tips on board, you'll already have an inclusive experience that champions social mobility, but it will be remiss of me not to mention its importance in onboarding. After all, onboarding's main purpose is to make a new employee feel included. To begin with, you need to ensure that your onboarding process doesn't exclude anyone for any reason. Gathering feedback from previous cohorts is a great way to do that, as is placing yourself in the shoes of minority group and evaluating every stage of your onboarding process through their eyes. You can use that same process to ensure your new talent has everything they need to thrive to no matter what. That background, the right insight, learning, information, and support should be there to ensure everyone arise with the same level of knowledge and experience. Technology can support here too, helping you identify those who might be struggling and tailoring their experience to help. We've seen this approach work wonders for one of our technology clients in particular, helping them ensure grads from diverse socioeconomic and non-technical backgrounds have the same skills as grads from technical and engineering degrees.
