What is preboarding?

Preboarding is the process where new employees are onboarded before their official start date. This can include activities such as paperwork completion, orientation sessions, or any other necessary training. Preboarding helps new hires feel prepared and excited for their new role and can also help minimize downtime once they officially start their job. It is a way for employers to make a positive first impression and set the stage for a successful onboarding experience.
