Onboarding tasks
Providing a great onboarding experience is crucial for new hires because it's a preview of your company culture and can help instill confidence that they made the right decision to join your company.
An excellent first impression goes a long way, and onboarding tasks can help you stay on top of everything that needs to be done before your new hire starts.
