Are you interested in setting up an acculturation program that will introduce your new hires to your corporate culture? It's time to start putting together a vision of what you hope to accomplish and how to create an impressive presentation.
To get an idea of how the corporate giants set themselves apart in this area, visit their employment information sites. These are designed to begin socializing people while they are still in the job seeker/applicant phase. However, they still offer lots of great examples you can incorporate into your onboarding program.
Coca-Cola "Our Workplace"
This portal presents several aspects of the company to catch a potential employee's interest. It focuses not just on the individual worker, but how the corporation is positioned within the community on a local and global scale. One particularly nice touch is the use of employee testimonials.
You can accomplish the same effect with an AllegroHR Acculturation platform. Consider adding video or audio testimonials from current employees to your introduction module. This will really engage your new hires on an emotional level.
Life At Google
Google is considered hands down one of the coolest places to work. They have plenty of YouTube videos to browse (of course). They've also got a top ten list of reasons to work at their company. Putting together your own top 10 would be very easy. Just be sure to get opinions from the average employee on what they really enjoy. This adds authenticity that new hires will recognize.
Whole Foods "Why Work Here"
Whole Foods takes the approach of making employees feel good about being part of a larger movement to change the world for the better. The company also emphasizes teamwork with their Declaration of Interdependence.
Your acculturation portal should always be used to inculcate the values of your organization. This doesn't have to be "in your face". It can be subtly woven throughout the entire module using quotes and insights to accent the content on each page.
Cisco Inclusion and Diversity
Cisco harnesses the power of the press to demonstrate their commitment to creating an employee-friendly workplace. Check out the list of articles they link to about how great their company is. If your business has gotten some positive "ink", remember to link or upload copies of newspaper clippings into your acculturation onboarding program. This adds credibility to any claims your organization makes about being a superior employer.
