Cohort-Based Learning for Onboarding Goals: Create Curated and Goal-Aligned Content

Day One: Connections are forged, perspectives are shared, productive growth kicks off. The foundation that equips every new team member for value creation in their role, onboarding sets the stage for a critical pattern of engagement and long-term contribution.
A rich, engaging, and effective employee onboarding experience requires an intentional approach that moves well beyond checklists, rote tasks, and generic information dumps. Modern onboarding programs not only teach a new employee the basics, they foster connection, collaboration, and community through holistic, highly interactive, and immersive periods of engagement that start on (or even before) a worker’s very first day.
In an ongoing series, we will explore onboarding initiatives centered around the six key pillars of learning on NovoEd: Practice & Application, Discussion & Feedback, Mentors & Managers, Effective Facilitation, Team-Based Learning, and Curated & Goal-Aligned Content.
We’ll continue with the Curated & Goal-Aligned Content pillar, a cornerstone of cohort-based learning and an essential component of NovoEd’s social and collaborative learning platform.
Customize your experience with content assets that address the root of your organizational issues and encourage meaningful capacity building with clear goals.
The old adage of content being king still reigns supreme when it comes to accommodating the needs of your new employees as well as the imperative of instilling company culture from the outset. Carefully curated content custom-fitted for your employee onboarding process that is also aligned with business priorities impart your unique culture and values right from the start. By fostering a sense of understanding and belonging among recent hires, you are able to amplify their enthusiasm and knowledge as important drivers of business success.
Curated resources in onboarding programs detail an organization’s mission, history, vision, and values and define these concepts into relatable information for new hires. A 30-60-90 day plan that is customized per role can be an invaluable tool to set expectations for these employees.
NovoEd analyzed and compiled years of experience with best-in-class programs into a format you can quickly reference as you design your learning experiences, enhancing employee engagement and knowledge retention. Take these ideas and best practices to incorporate into your current programs or use as inspiration for new activities, new ways to engage your audience with learning, or as an alternative to traditional methods.
