Why implement an integration booklet?

Ensure the best integration for the new collaborator

The integration booklet plays a primary role as an onboarding tool to ensure successful integration of the new employee. Often, this step of the employee integration process goes under the radar in some companies, which can lead to the oversight of several vital pieces of information if they are not documented in a centralized support like the internal booklet.

What to include in your integration booklet?

Needless to say, the integration booklet must be structured and must not contain arbitrary information. In this section, we will explore the essential information to include in the integration booklet.

A welcome message

It is essential that the integration booklet offers a welcome message to the new collaborator, whether that message comes from their mentor, their team or all of their colleagues.
