Onboarding international specialists

Have you successfully recruited international specialists for your company? Then start with onboarding immediately after signing the contract! This is about creating a welcoming culture before the first day of work and making the start in the new working environment as smooth as possible.

A checklist for preparing for the induction period from the Competence Centre for Securing Skilled Workers (KOFA) is helpful and provides information on the following topics:
1. before the first day of work
Administrative preparations, equipping the workplace, compiling relevant company information, creating a welcome folder, appointing and preparing a permanent contact person (mentor), etc.

2. hand over welcome packon the first day of work
, welcome by management, introduction of permanent contact person, lunch with colleagues and superiors, etc.

3. first week of work
Arrangement of regular meetings with mentors, introductory measures and training, formal procedures explained, such as holiday requests, sick leave, etc.

4. after 4 to 8 weeks
Feedback meeting with superiors, further training and qualifications are discussed and planned, etc.

5. ongoing
Regular dialogue meetings with mentors have taken place, perspectives discussed

Social events with colleagues or other people at your new place of residence can help you get to know your new environment and build relationships. Would you like support in organising such events?
