The interview process is complete, references have been confirmed, the qualified candidate has accepted the position. So what’s next? For SEI, the Onboarding Process kicks in to high gear!
Onboarding begins when the hiring manager contacts HR and provides the necessary information – new employee’s name, address, hire date, pay rate, hotel stay and relevant travel dates. From here, a detailed training schedule, customized to the position, is generated.
The hiring manager then sends a confirmation email to the newly hired employee welcoming him/her to the company and communicating pertinent facts along with notification that a new hire packet will be arriving from HR. Included in this package are:
• Welcome Letter
• What to Bring” Letter
• “What to Expect on Your First Day” Letter from HR
• Hotel Confirmations and any Applicable Travel Arrangements
• Benefit Overview
• Copy of Detailed Employment Agreement
• Strengths Finder 2.0 Book (With a brief summary from SEI on completing the online Strengths Finder assessment)
SEI is taking the initiative in welcoming the new team member, along with preparing and informing him or her for that first week of employment. No guessing – the new employee will know exactly what to bring and what to anticipate.
Let the fun begin! The employee arrives at the corporate office for the first week of training. Upon arrival, the newbie is greeted not only by the friendly faces of our dispatch team, but also by a Welcome Aboard sign displayed with his/her name in our lobby.
