My team supervisor at OFM (Audrey, at the time) got our team together on my first day and we went to lunch to connect on a personal note. Loved that! It was nice to get out of the office setting and calmed the "newness nerves".

Best onboarding experience I had was such a warm welcoming and personal call from HR as well as such a smooth process with IT equipment, etc. I actually had email and access to things.

In the best job I've ever had, my onboarding experience was super supportive. I knew I could go to my co-workers or leadership with any questions I had. It made me very comfortable and created an open communication environment from the start. In my worst job, I was given very little direction outside of the computer training I received and did not meet my HR manager for at least two months. There was little communication with management and most people did not enjoy working there. Vastly different experiences :)

One of the best onboarding experiences was just recently at L&I, their onboarding including walking in the building and the safety person getting my parking pass and badge before I even met anyone in my department!

I worked for a catering and events planning company in Emeryville called Paula Leduc. They had the most thorough training and development program. The NEO for all staff really level set, so if you were working in the office, you received the same initial training as someone in the warehouse, serving events. Very clear and concise training manuals and training check-lists. I still think about that experience today when I think of how to revamp the onboarding experience at SHR.

My WORST job and onboarding experience were one and the same. I had worked for a year as a contractor doing a communications refit for an aircraft carrier, and while that was hard work, it was good. The bad part was when the contract changed to stripping the deck of the same carrier. The machines were loud and spat BBs at the deck to strip it, but those BBs came out and hit the operators, too. There were no managers directing us to where we needed to work, no training on the machines, nothing. I did not last long.

worst onboarding. I showed up on my first day and they had forgotten to let the front desk know I was starting that day. I finally get in the office and had no desk, computer, phone. sat at the table in the middle of the common area for the first week. This was in an HR shop.

In my past (pre-state employment) life, I was the HR manager and also personally did all onboarding of new hires. I LOVED making it a positive experience and bringing together new hires from multiple areas so they could mingle and get to know each other during the process. Was very rewarding, not just for them, but for me as leadership.

We do a great job of hiring for passion, so the FEELING that most people shared, was the affirmation that connected with our mission in profound ways..

We do a meet and greet with our leaders after the new employee has had an agency 101 experience. The meet and greet creates and opportunity for the new staff to put faces and names to the programs and services they have learned about it. The introduce themselves, provide information about how they will be intersecting and interacting with the new employee. Our Director always takes her time to talk about why she is SO EXCITED about the new employee being a part of the agency (what unique skills, backgrounds, etc. they bring to the agency) the impact that she hopes that they have. We are also going to add in leaders sharing how they talk about our agency with the community/friends and family to empower the new employee with language on how to talk with friends/family/colleagues about their new employment.
