Onboarding new hires in your company is an exciting part yet also a nerve-wracking one. New hires are like children you have to take care of until they grow up in your loving environment. For this, you must create a loving, welcoming, and functioning environment. Your company should be prepared for them. How? By these 7 steps, we are enlisting below. These are the ultimate 7 steps of onboarding new employees into your office.
1. A Welcoming Reception Area is Necessary
The first impression of your employees is always the reception area of your office. Furthermore, in a new environment, they would notice every single thing, whether your office is warming and welcoming for them or not.
What to do
- Build reception areas or guest rooms
- Decorate the front area of the office
- A board or kiosk near the main door with information
- Greenery, artwork, or welcoming decoration
- Comfortable seating in the whole office
2. Collaborative Spaces for New Employees
You must not leave your new employees alone to work by themselves. No matter how experienced they are, in a new company they will feel like a headless fly. They need someone to lead them, introduce them, and let them mingle with everyone. For this, there is only one thing you can do, make collaborative spaces for new employees. A personalized workplace is good but for now, they need collaboration with the whole team.
What to do
- Design open layout workspaces
- Special areas for informal seating
- Collaborative rooms with long tables and lounge chairs
- All collaboration tech such as whiteboard and moveable furniture
- Technological updates such as display screens and boards
3. Comforting Break Area
Work is important but it’s as necessary to let everyone take a break. However, do you know taking a break at the same place where they work is not actually resting? Yes, your employee will continue to work or keep thinking about the work if they are taking a tea break or lunch break at their working desk. Therefore, you need to build a comforting break room for them.
What to do
- Build a break room
- Use relaxing colors and fun decor
- The break room must have a coffee maker and snacks
- Display fun pictures of the team on walls
- Add games for everyone to enjoy
4. Culture & Brand Integration in Company Decor
Your new employees need to see your company culture and need to learn about your brand. But how are you going to do this? Holding a festival, some fun meetings, or a party would be nice, but you cannot do that every time for every employee. So you need to do your company decor and office interior in Gurgaon with culture and brand integration.
What to do –
- Use wall graphics that reflect your brand & morals
- Displays with awards, certificates, and team photos
- Use brand in interior color, furniture, and lighting
- Posters with company rules and culture
5. Quiet Zones or Areas are Necessary
Collaboration areas let your new employees work together, mix with everyone fast, and don’t feel left out. However, quiet zones are as necessary because everyone needs quiet areas for them to concentrate on work. For this, you should separate the collaboration area and the focusing work zones.
What to do
- Separate booths or rooms
- Tables and chairs in the garden or on the roof
- Soundproof walls and doors
- Natural and soft lighting
- A proper schedule for work and fun
6. Integrate Ergonomic, Biophilic, & Technology in Interior
Your new employees are like babies who are learning and noticing everything going on around them. If they see that the office they have chosen does not care about their well-being then they will feel let down. They need to see you caring about greenery and technology. Make a balance for this.
What to do
- Add indoor plants and biophilic walls
- Use wood for furniture
- Ergonomic chairs and other furniture are necessary
- A wellness room for their break, rest, and moving around
- High desk, standing desk, walking tracks, etc.
7. Create Functional Washrooms & Canteen
Last but not least is having functional washrooms and canteen. Not just new employees, but the old ones too, will leave your company if there are not functional washrooms and canteen. A company should have a canteen. If the space is small then make a small kitchen where all necessary things are available such as an oven and a coffee maker. The same goes for the washroom, if you cannot build a big washroom with many cubicles in it, then make a small one with proper soundproofing and ventilation.
What to do
- A kitchen with all the necessities
- Washroom with proper ventilation
- Soap dispensers and garbage bins
- Oven and tea and coffee makers
- A worker making tea
- Janitor to keep the washroom clean
