Beyond On-Boarding: Using "Day Zero" Engagement to Kickstart the New Hire Experience

On-boarding is a common practice that nearly every organization uses to welcome employees and orient them with the policies, culture, history, and practices of the company. But is one morning or even a full week of traditional on-boarding enough to help new hires become purposeful and productive members of the team? If we're being honest, probably not. Atlassian believes that all companies and all teams benefit from working in a more open, connected way. That's why Atlassian engages in pre-boarding new starters as soon as they sign their offer letter.
