Abstract: (12 Views)
To allow new employees to better settle into a new job, the management and/ or HR departments of organisations implement onboarding of newcomers. In context of higher education, aacademics must be aware of the 'home' institutions regulatory requirements and organisational processes and receive realistic job expectations regardless of where the academic is situated before joining the ‘home’ university. Successful onboarding of newly recruited academic staff allows them to become familiar with the regulations of the higher education industry; to understand the organisational culture and the way of operation and quality assurance in their new university. As result, successful onboarding improves the experience and job satisfaction of new academic staff and talent retention at universities. This article critically examines the onboarding process of new academics in a large university in Australia. It reports what new academics expect after accepting their job offer and the onboarding process. It discusses how the onboarding experience impacts the overall experience of new academics at the university and provides recommendations for policy makers and university management.
