All Onboard Podcast

In our All Onboard episode 14, Donna Howard, SPHR, SCP, MBA of PhyNet Dermatology LLC reminds us of something critical: onboarding doesn’t begin on day one—it starts during the pre-hire process. -> Connection is key. When you reach out to new hires before they officially start, saying “We’re excited to have you,” it sends a message that they’re valued. Compare that to someone calling HR on their first day, unsure of where to show up—it's a completely different experience. -> First impressions matter, and as Donna puts it, “You only get to make a first impression once.” Creating a sense of belonging and connection early on can make a world of difference in how new hires feel about their role and your company culture. Don’t wait for day one to make someone feel like part of the team. Start engaging early, and watch how it positively impacts your onboarding process. 🎧 Listen to the insightful episode with Donna: https://lnkd.in/gVWK8KpA #Onboarding #EmployeeExperience #HRStrategy #AllOnboardPodcast #Orientation #HRPodcast #HRTrends
