Back to school season means new arrivals! Whether you're about to welcome an intern or a finance director, have you taken the time to think about the key steps to smooth your new hires' onboarding journey? Promise, it'll save just as much time for you as for your future colleagues.
Create your job description
Mystery might work for flattery, but not for recruitment. By definition, a job posting won't fit in a tweet if it includes the job title, contract type, location, and salary information. In short, the bare minimum. So make sure to create a complete job posting, like the one from the media outlet HugoDécrypte. Need more advice to improve your hiring process? This comprehensive article will shed light on it, from internal team mobility to the essential training of managers.
Welcome
Recruitment is done. Now let's think ahead to the first days. To help with this, don't hesitate to put together an onboarding guide to help new employees understand and access the company's tools, methods, practices, values and culture. At Médianes, we bring all of this together in a kit that includes team member biographies, an overview of our organization and our editorial and ethics charter.
Set working hours
A new job is exciting and often demanding. That said, it's clear that we work much better when well-rested. The news investigation site Mediapart has therefore implemented charters on the right to disconnect and on remote work guidelines, along with self-reported time management tools. Human Resources ensures compliance and regularly reminds employees to take their leave.
