Project Overview

Project Details
Project Title Develop A School District’s Onboarding Program For New Hires
Project Synopsis

What is the challenge or opportunity you are trying to address within your organization?

The Ashton-Franklin Center School District is in need of your support in developing an employee onboarding program to be launched August 2022. The district is looking to build an efficient and comprehensive framework, process, and set tools for carrying out the new employee induction process. Some suggested activities include: Review of existing documents and processes currently being used. Research on best practices for onboarding new hires taking into account different training target groups, instructional and licensed staff as well as non-instructional staff such as those working in operations and facilities. Identification of legal requirements for onboarding. Curation and development of prototype job aids, road maps, organizational charts, and other tools that facilitate new hire orientation and job success. A successful project would result in a prototype Onboarding Playbook, that includes 1) step-by-step instructions for orienting staff depending on their employee classification (e.g. licensed, instructional, operational staff), 2) collection of sample job aids, building maps, organizational charts, sample forms, etc. that should be supplied to new hires to facilitate orientation and successful transition into work roles.
