A wave of resignations has registered worldwide, with enough numbers for <\/span>news outlets<\/span><\/a> to term this phenomenon ‘The Great Resignation’. It’s no different in Asia, where many ASEAN companies in <\/span>Singapore<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines <\/span><\/a>face a shortage of skilled workforce as more quit and change jobs during the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pandemic was a stress test for businesses. Companies had to pivot – businesses had to digitalise (see how <\/span>F&B<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>retail<\/span><\/a> did) and go online, and they had to make remote work successful, all while moving ahead despite the logistics challenge.

After the hiring process is over, you still need to ensure their onboarding process is just as seamless.<\/span><\/p>\n

The onboarding process gives your new employee a first look at the business. It\u2019s a great first impression if your new hire feels everything is organised with a proper system to keep things working. To communicate this process, try using an onboarding checklist that will cover the next two months, or the first 60 days.<\/span><\/p>\n

An onboarding checklist helps you guide new hires through their first days and months at a company. The list guides employees through each critical stage of the onboarding process. It provides a starting point for their deliverables according to their roles. Some items your checklist can include:<\/span>
