| Abstract: | In today’s competitive job market and evolving work environment, retaining talent has become increasingly challenging for organizations. To address this, companies are exploring various strategies to retain talented employees for extended periods. One effective approach is to ensure that employees feel welcomed and integrated from the moment they sign their contract. This thesis aims to design an onboarding kit specifically for the pre-onboarding phase of new employees within an organizational context. Using the Creative Technology design process, the initial prototype of the ’pre-onboarding kit’ was developed, comprising four components: a cardholder with scannable business cards, a VR experience, a cultural jigsaw puzzle, and an informative website. The goal of this kit is to familiarize new employees with the organizational culture and establish initial connections within the company, ensuring they feel welcomed and integrated even before their first workday. The prototype was made in collaboration with Ecare, the client of this project. The evaluation of the pre-onboarding kit received highly positive feedback from both Ecare employees and new hires outside of Ecare. They found the kit to be engaging, informative, and enjoyable, significantly aiding the integration of new employees. Although further refinements are necessary to transform the prototype into a fully functional product, the pre-onboarding kit concept holds promising potential for the future. |
