Bringing a fresh employee onto the team is not only giving them an opportunity to showcase their expertise but an opportunity to contribute to the culture. The onboarding system is more than just an integration into the role, it should be the stepping stones for them to showcase their personal talent. Far too often we see repetitive onboarding processes that lack versatility, they lack creativity and create barriers from day one. Beyond the job title and the role in which they play, all employees have a unique skill that can be unlocked when finding the right approach. It's easy to follow the mundane because it's a process we are comfortable with, if we ought to see our employees become exceptional we have to come out of our comfort zone.

New members don't want to feel like outsiders. Make space for them to give their views and opinions, allow them to be part of the team even if they contribute a little. Build them up slowly by giving progressive tasks, not too easy where they feel bored or too difficult where they feel despondent. Allow room to fail, allow errors along the way and avoid reminding them of their errors in hopes that they will not make it. We should make new members feel heard, acknowledge them and allow them to be comfortable bringing in fresh perspectives. Get rid of the idea that experienced minds are always right and never wrong, newcomers can be right too, in fact they might bring in fresh perspectives which opens doors of opportunity for the company.

When a new member walks into the foreign space they want to feel as if they are accepted, like moving into a new home, you would like to feel as if you are part of the community and would like to know your neighbours. Human interaction is not a want, it's a need. Employers are not granting their employees a favour by having occasional social gatherings, we should see the social aspect as being just as important as the product the employees produce. If a company wishes to have a high turnover rate, look at your employees as money making tools and not humans. Over time, the social deprivation will kick in and their longing to be with a company that sees human first and employee second will start to grow.
