In Here’s How Google Knows in Less Than 5 Minutes if a New Employee Will Get Off to the Perfect Start (Inc, 10 May 2021) Jeff Haden explains that after running a number of surveys and experiments, Google developed a list of five simple onboarding tips for managers. To keep things simple — and serve as a handy reminder — the company emailed those tips to managers the night before a new employee started. Here they are:

1. Match the new hire with a peer buddy
2. Help the new hire build a social network
3. Set up employee onboarding check-ins once a month for the new hire’s first six months
4. Encourage open dialogue
5. Meet your new hires on their first day.
