Use a scavenger hunt to make new-hire onboarding engaging. Cover all three phases—education, socialization, and documentation—with 4 to 5 tasks each, check in regularly, and offer company swag as a reward.
Want to make your new hire onboarding program more fun and engaging right from the start? Add in a new hire scavenger hunt. Scavenger hunts are proven to increase engagement of new hires, and it just makes it that much more fun. You want to make sure you represent all 3 phases of onboarding in the scavenger hunt: education, socialization, and documentation. And give 4 to 5 tasks that are fun around each one of those 3 areas. And then make sure that you're checking in with your new hire along the way to keep them on track and offer them some some sort of prize or reward like company swag for completing it.
