We are excited to provide members with a comprehensive toolkit to help members develop an effective onboarding program. Follow along with each step and incorporate the entire program or pull out what makes sense for your organization. This is an excellent tool that will be helpful for all members – regardless of your level of care/service.

The toolkit is quite deep, so we will be going over a section each week in the Aging Update to provide bite-sized pieces to members.

There are 6 sections including an introduction to the toolkit and how to use it. The other sections include:

Principle 1: Welcoming a Team Member to the Organization
Principle 2: Introduction to the Organization’s Culture
Principle 3: Leveraging an Organization’s Mission, Vision, and Values
Principle 4: Career Pathways and Role Specific Challenges
Principle 5: Teamwork and Building Relationships in the Workplace

Each section includes an introductory video showing the user how to use and apply the tools in that section, a facilitator guide, training materials to get your current team on board, and modifiable tools for your organization.

We would like to thank the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation for providing it to us. They developed it through a grant specifically focused on onboarding employees. They have made it free to all members.
