Onboarding is a process, not an event. Please partner with your HR Representative and plan ahead for positive results. Long term retention of any new employee starts at recruitment. Use this checklist to ensure that you have all of the needed elements to help get your employee off to the best start possible.  \n􀂾 When your employee has attended a New Employee Orientation session, they will be surveyed at 30, 60 and 90 days to assess the overall Onboarding experience.  \n􀂾 Please review the Discussion Form Sample Questions prior to formal meetings with the new employee.  \n􀂾 Decide if you will assign a mentor to your new employee; you can find training materials on the SPD training website ([http://www.in.gov/spd/2366.htm](http://www.in.gov/spd/2366.htm)).  \nPRE-ARRIVAL  \nThe messages we send to new employees before they join the organization are critical.
