| Purpose of Onboarding
Onboarding is the process of welcoming new employees in an organisation, educating them about the company culture and what is expected of them (CIPD, 2022b). It seeks to assist its employees to get along with the work environment, to be in line with the organisationss values and to also learn the skills meant for their roles. Onboarding can also help to engage employees, raise confidence and boost productivity, as skills and tools essential to success are provided. Onboarding is a strategic opportunity to provide a positive first impression, shorten a new hire’s time-to-productivity, and set new hires up for building strong relationships among new hires, with their colleagues, and with their managers (NeSmith, 2025). Benefits of Onboarding Improved Effectiveness in Role: Successful onboarding means that new employees at ParcelCare get to know their roles, company processes, and performance standards within the first few weeks of their employment. This minimises the time taken before an employee can start contributing towards the goals of the organisation effectively (Griffis, 2022). For delivery drivers, it is possible to design specific training programs for route planning and customer relations to improve the service. The guidance and support given during the onboarding process also reduce the chances of making mistakes and boost confidence, thus enhancing the feeling of competence. This means that ParcelCare will be more efficient, and the customers will be more satisfied, thus giving the organisation a competitive edge. Introduction to and Appreciation of the Organisation’s Culture and Norms: Onboarding helps new employees to understand the values, mission, and norms of ParcelCare hence aligning their practices with the values of the organisation. This way, employees are aware of the company’s objectives and hence they can work towards achieving them (Bradshaw, 2024). For example, drivers who understand that ParcelCare values timely deliveries and good customer relations will also embrace these values. Cultural integration also helps in avoiding cultural conflicts, encourages team spirit, and creates a positive working relationship. Retention and Reduced Employee Turnover: Having an effective onboarding process is crucial to ensuring a good transition into the organisation and deals with the uncertainties of being a new member of the team, increasing employee retention in the process. ParcelCare stands to see fewer turnover rates and therefore lower recruitment and training costs when new hires feel valued and have been properly prepared in their roles (Crail, 2024). Additionally, maintaining experienced staff will keep service from being interrupted and keep high work standards, which further enhances ParcelCare’s reputation as an employer of choice.
