Onboarding program

Lack the time or expertise to (re)design your onboarding program?

I can help you create a clear, structured, and effective onboarding program that gives new hires a strong start. Here’s how we shape that program together.

Way of working

Introduction and Alignment

Every collaboration begins with a open, non-binding conversation. In this initial exchange, we explore your organisation’s context, ambitions, and the challenges you want to address. Together, we identify opportunities and clarify what an effective onboarding experience should achieve.

Based on this dialogue, I outline a proposal and suggest the focus areas that best fit your current needs. When the approach feels right for both sides, we officially embark on the journey together.

Project Approach

Once we agree to move forward, we schedule a dedicated kickoff session. In this phase, we define the purpose of the onboarding program, map out the route ahead, and set meaningful milestones. We also establish a project group with key stakeholders to ensure ownership, engagement, and alignment from day one.

We build a working method that grows organically from your organisation’s culture, priorities, and people. This results in a clear and effective plan.

Research and Insights

With the project group in place, we dive deeper into understanding your current and desired onboarding experience. Through a combination of interviews, surveys and existing data, we uncover what is working well, where friction exists, and what future success should look like.

In a collaborative workshop, we map out the current onboarding activities and collect ideas to improve the program.This research phase builds clarity, shared understanding, and broad internal support.

Designing the Onboarding Program

Using the insights from our research, we craft a 30-60-90 day program that aligns with your goals, culture, and operational reality.We define the content, structure, and priorities, and determine who plays which role in bringing the experience to life.

This may include checklists, communication touchpoints, tools and training components. Every element is designed with intention to create a program that is both practical and relevant.

Implementation

With the program defined, we translate it into a clear implementation plan with concrete actions, roles, and timelines. Throughout the process, I monitor progress, support key decisions, and ensure the onboarding experience becomes part of everyday practice.

We gather feedback and evaluate outcomes to create a sustainable, embedded onboarding experience that grows with your organisation. 

What clients say

I blend online and in‑person collaboration to co‑create programmes.

Whenever it adds value, I work on location: through sessions, trainings, or conversations.

Online, I use Miro for digital working sessions and to offer space for feedback at any point in the process.

Remote‑first companies benefit even more from a well‑designed digital onboarding experience, as it helps build alignment, culture, and engagement from day one, regardless of where people are located.
