This source is in a book format and provides a solution to the
onboarding process issues and layouts a complete plan for companies
on what they should do with new employees before their time starts at
the company. The book provides building blocks for which the process
should develop on and then goes on to list the short and long term
outcomes if done right. The source also describes the different types of
employees and how each one has to be treated differently during the
process in order to have success. Finally, a case study is presented in
which the writer experiments using this onboarding process in different
companies and writes about the outcomes.

would provide evidence that their can be a solution to the problem and
that the solution can have a positive effect on the company.

process and successes and failures they have had,
