Social Opportunities
"Even within their first week, new hires may not necessarily get the chance to meet everyone in the office. Therefore, you should make it clear when company events happen -- whether it's a regular Tuesday night happy hour, or a monthly office party. That way, they can budget time to participate and truly get to know their new co-workers."

A Guide to Handling Work Situations
"Most of the onboarding/training programs focus on explaining the processes and developing the technical skills needed for the job. But they should also include how to deal with situations in the work environment. Your new hires will adjust quickly, and you’ll likely accelerate the learning process."

Food, Drinks, Fun!
"When employees first start at ZinePak, we present them with our onboarding packet. While we include details about the office and our history, a portion of it is all about your new life as a ZinePak employee. Whether it's great lunch spots near the office that have gotten the thumbs up from other employees or a fantastic happy-hour bar, we want employees to seamlessly transition in style."

Relatability
"It may seem odd, but common talking points will put new employees at ease and allow them to instantly speak to their new co-workers about a topic they know will foster good conversation. If you are an outgoing person, you can take for granted how easy it is to meet and bond with new people. Help out your new hires by giving them the tools to connect with their co-workers and feel comfortable in their new office right away."
