Onboarding

Wikipedia defines this as

The mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective organizational members and insiders.

“Hi, Lauren, She is amazing. She has been amazing, can’t wait to get to work and becomes our president.” In

my experience this term is very common in the HR field and is often used during the hire process. My way of thinking about onboarding include any type of activity or process that is aimed at preparing a new employee for his/her position. Il can include training, getting certifications, briefing on policies and so on. I assume the process varies widely depending on the position and field of work.
