Onboarding

Onboarding new employees is not an option.  It is a necessity.

This section provides an overview of Onboarding at Fleet Feet - a critical part of setting every new hire up for long-term success.

Onboarding is more than just orientation. While orientation introduces new hires to company policies and basic procedures, onboarding is a structured, role-specific process designed to help new team members integrate into the culture, develop skills, and feel connected from day one.

Managers play a key role in delivering a consistent and meaningful onboarding experience.  From welcoming the new hire to guiding them through their first few weeks, the manager’s involvement ensures that training is personalized, expectations are clear, and each team member feels seen and supported.

This section offers guidance to help you understand the difference between onboarding and orientation and outlines the managers role to lead a successful onboarding experience.
