The best way to create in-house induction & employee onboarding video
What is employee onboarding?
Employee onboarding is the process of formally inducting new employees into your organization, making them feel welcome and immersed in your company’s culture, as well as introducing them to the tools and teams they will be working with.
Many employee onboarding programs are heavily reliant on online forms and digital paperwork. Employee onboarding and induction videos can help to make your induction process more memorable and more human.
Employee retention is heavily influenced by onboarding. 40% of employees who have a poor onboarding experience are disengaged after just three months and wouldn’t recommend the organization to others.
Benefits of onboarding
Companies with an onboarding program retained 91% of their first-year workers.
New hires with a well structured onboarding program were 69% more likely to remain at a company for up to three years.
Onboarding improves company ROI by more than $79,000/ year.

How to enhance your employee onboarding program with video
Having a stellar onboarding experience is critical to employee retention. Administration is the traditional core of onboarding, and while paperwork and other routine tasks must be completed, don’t forget that people love to join organisations that align with their values and beliefs. It’s important to keep reinforcing your culture, brand and unique style to new starters and video is an excellent way to communicate culture and style while reinforcing brand.
Video has the additional benefit of being mobile friendly, and compatible with multiple delivery formats across devices. In a world where remote work and distributed workforces are becoming more common, video has the added benefit of ensuring your people are the most memorable aspect of onboarding, regardless of your HR team’s physical location.

It's important to have regular check-ins to make sure that your new employee is comfortable, happy and engaged. Reviewing and giving thoughtful feedback on your new hire's early contributions is an important part of onboarding, as is gathering feedback and documenting your new employees progress and contributions.
To create a memorable first impression (for the right reasons!) you need to up the level of warmth during onboarding. This can be easily achieved by enhancing every onboarding touchpoint with employee-created video.
