Good Onboarding Insights, Slightly Dated
This book clearly explains why onboarding is important, not just a first-day orientation, as a key part of the employee experience. The author convincingly shows that good onboarding can help keep employees, increase productivity, and boost engagement when organizations plan it carefully. I liked the focus on leadership’s role and the idea that onboarding should go beyond HR to encompass the company's broader culture. However, the book was written several years ago, and some examples feel outdated compared to today’s digital and hybrid work environments. Still, the main ideas are strong and relevant, making it a useful read for anyone who wants to understand the value of structured onboarding.

I think this is a great read for any person or organization that is wanting to improve employee retention through onboarding programs. It details the statistics and ROI behind the research and is a book that was a bit ahead of its time in looking into the impacts of onboarding as a specific HR functionality.

Some great ideas to increase efficiency of new hires
New hires, regardless of qualifications and experience will be more productive if properly introduced to their new work environment. Too often it is assumed new hires only need some introduction to their specific job responsibilities. The book describes procedures for integrating new employees so they understand the "big picture" and are able to contribute sooner to the success of the operation and maintain a productive, winning attitude.

A "Must Read" that will not get read thoroughly.
"Must Read" that won't get read. The first 50% of this work is dead-on, but after the foundation of what onboarding can and should be, it falls into a typical "consultant lecture" that takes a simple concept and complicates it into a 100 year project for anyone who wants to follow it. Like most business books today, it is written from and for Fortune 500 companies, missing the 75% of companies that make up our economy. I would love to see a 2.0 version of this, written for the small-medium size organization (under 500 people) who really NEED onboarding.

Absolutely spot on
This book is absolutely brilliant. Having just taken on a role responsible for onboarding, I didn't know where to turn for credible, practical and digestible information on the subject. You can see from my photo that I'm highlighting a great deal of the book for when I reach the end and begin creating our own onboarding programme. I have no hesitation in saying this book has given me the insight and confidence to approach what was initially a very scary task. Now I can't wait to get started.

Zu oberflächlich
nicht geeignet um für einen guten Onboarding Prozess praktische / wissenschaftlich fundierte Informationen zu bekommen.

Introductive to an actual company topic
I have been reading for 2 weeks and I appreciate 1) language clarity 2) the authors are sharing their own development learning process about the subject. As if they are writing while they are learning. As any new firms "room of improvement" you will not find any perfect translation from blueprint to the "mise en place" of a program suitable for tour company, but a lot of stimolulus to think about on. Thumbs up
