No two companies in the beauty industry are the same, so it’s important to provide new hires with a solid onboarding experience. The first few months of an employee’s tenure should be filled with constant training, on-the-job learning, mentoring, meetings with key staffers, field and product experiences, and more. In order to thrive at your company, these people need to feel warmly welcomed and be carefully immersed into your culture.
Partnering with your recruiter to create a robust onboarding strategy is a must. It’s all too easy for new hires to slip through the cracks in this fast-paced industry, so investing significant time and energy into new team members is essential to create and maintain a loyal workforce.
