Process of integrating new employees into organizations

Its significance and importance

Abstract

This article aims to highlight the need for every organization to have an appropriate integration process for new employees, and to emphasize the numerous advantages of its proper implementation. Any approach, method or program aimed at integrating a new employee into an organization, whether public or private, must consider that the processes of incorporation, induction and socialization of the newcomer constitute a fundamental link in the objectives that guide the criteria for obtaining human capital, which also includes recruitment, selection, hiring and retention of talented workers. This post-selection process should be guided and inspired by senior management in a clear attempt to incorporate the philosophy of both professional and social integration of the employee into the corporate culture. The methodology used is based on a systematic review of the available literature in order to assess the state of art on this topic. The main conclusion reached, is that even today, major flaws and gaps persist in many companies regarding the implementation of an appropriate new employee onboarding process, due precisely to a lack of appreciation and/or awareness of the numerous benefits and advantages of its use. This article may be very useful in reversing these strategic errors in human capital management.
