The onboarding process is a critical time for new hires and organizations alike. During this period, businesses will need to provide new employees with a workstation equipped with all of the workbooks, tools, software, and access required for their day-to-day responsibilities.

As a result, organizations need clear and consistent procedures in place to assist with personnel screening considerations, offboarding procedures, and more.
