Employee Onboarding: 10 Tips for Onboarding New Employees

In this article Sainokoyo Consulting will touch upon the procedure of onboarding which is the integration of a new team member into an organization’s existing workforce.

Onboarding is one of the most essential tasks in any business. A former Google HR leader, who is now the CEO of Cogo Capital Inc. said that “the failure of new employees in the business is directly tied to poor onboarding processes.” In the words of Sainokoyo Consulting which has done research on the onboarding of employees within an organization, these are the 10 steps which should guide an organization in onboarding process;

Gradate the Process Over Time instead of Packaging it One Day as it Assures Smooth Transition.

Sainokoyo advises organizations to use a more humane approach while onboarding. Messages welcoming an employee should start coming before his joining and the rules should be made clear to them. Such a proposal is intended to lower the tension which most new workers experience during their initial day and contains factors like the building number, link, and clothing guidelines.

Foster an Appropriate Atmosphere

Even before the employee starts interacting with everyone in the office, the welcome they receive when they come or when they join the workplace the first time needs to be pleasant. In case they are remote employees, pack supplies for a welcome package, orient them with the key personnel, and provide them directions on where to locate essential supplies. At Sainokoyo Consulting, we advocate working in an atmosphere that is responsive and supportive so that new employees get adjusted to the team easily.

Set and Communicate Realistic Goals to Employees

Some of the critical stages in the onboarding processes include explaining the employee’s duties and roles within the organization. Provide them explanation of a specific job that is appealing to them and set realistic targets along with the ways of assessing their achievements. At Sainokoyo Consulting, we assist companies achieve rational, allocated targets for recruits which aid in their early induction days and contributes to their development.

Allocate Appropriate Tools & Resources

The company must ensure that all new employees sufficiently equipped with the tools, resources and software access required to perform well. This comprises also hardware like laptops and phones, as well as logins for different accounts such as email or internal systems and training documents The consulting firm advises managers to establish such tools long enough before the employee starts working so that he or she will be ready to work as soon as he or she takes up the employment without any delays.

Allocate a Mentor or a Buddy

Mentor or buddy assignment is one effective way of easing new recruits into the company’s culture and way of working. This should be a new hire who has been in the company long enough to know the processes, pose questions and build a personal rapport. We, at Sainokoyo Consulting think that mentoring contributes to the completion of social networks for new employees and acceptance to the new environment in the organization in a more effective manner.

Make Sure an Orientation Meeting is Effectively Held

An orientation session is an opportunity for a new employee to learn about values, missions, culture and policies of the company. Then, following the hire’s acceptance, commence familiarisation with such critical areas as HR policies, benefits and expectations of the company. Sainokoyo Consulting encourages the use of more engaging methods of orientation like embedding a virtual orientation tour, meet the team sessions, and question and answer sessions to increase interactions and usefulness of the orientation process.

Conduct Training and Development Programs on a Periodic Basis

The process of onboarding does not conclude after the first week or the first month of work. It is imperative that new hires receive constant assistance and training to equip them with tools necessary to practice in their positions. In this context, Sainokoyo Consulting recommends to already deploy training programs, ensure constant provision of access to the relevant industry seminars and check in the newly engaged employees frequently to arm them in their new positions.

Build Relationships with Employees

Allow the new employee to interact with people in their team. Allow them to have coffee break meetings, team lunches, and most importantly team projects, where bonding will start. According to Sainokoyo Consulting, organizations should include new employees in team work so that they will be made to feel as an important part of the workforce and thus enhance team work.

Ask for Feedback

Employers should ask new employees for their feedback on the onboarding process they went through which will help improve the process in future. At the end of the first few weeks or months, seek the opinion of new employees concerning their orientation and integration experiences. This can be realized through questionnaires, interviews, or informal talks. Many of Sainokoyo Consulting’s clients are able to develop effective feedback loops, and these enable them to improve their onboarding programs all the time.

Maintain the Set Goals and Conduct Regular Reviews

To evaluate their performance and understand their issues, new workers also require follow-ups for their clarification. Setting up regular meetings such as, once a week one-on-ones with managers, will also make sure that the new hire is able to progress well and receive the required help. At Sainokoyo Consulting, we assist clients in formulating a systematic review mechanism during the early months of the new worker so that he/ she is well adjusted and is meeting the set expectations.

Conclusion

Comprehensively speaking, elements such as employee onboarding starts to instill culture and values to new joins and thus ensure that it is done on proper manner. The same goes with deciding who will lead such initiatives so that the entire organization and culture can comprehend such changes. New employees should be provided with appropriate targets to be achieved in the first couple of weeks along with the contours of the structure in an intelligent fashion. Those new to the position also need assistance with mentoring from day one. At Sainokoyo Consulting we have developed tailor made on-boarding solutions to each of our client, so their team gets oriented and engaged from the first day of their work.

Jaeger Integration with Spring Cloud

In today’s complex landscape of highly distributed microservices, monitoring, and tracing are essential tools for understanding application performance and effectively diagnosing issues. Distributed tracing allows us to track requests as they traverse multiple services, providing valuable insights into potential bottlenecks and latency problems. In this blog post, we will explore the process of setting up distributed tracing in a Spring Boot application, utilizing OpenTelemetry and Jaeger.

Understanding Distributed Tracing

Distributed tracing is a technique that helps developers and operators track requests as they move across various microservices or components of an application. It provides end-to-end visibility into the path a request takes and the time it spends in each service. With this information, you can:

Identify bottlenecks: Find out which parts of your application are causing delays or performance issues.

Optimize performance: Analyze the trace data to identify opportunities for optimizing the performance of your application.

Troubleshoot errors: Quickly pinpoint the source of errors or exceptions in your system, making debugging much easier.

Introducing OpenTelemetry and Jaeger

OpenTelemetry (OTel) is indeed an open-source project that offers a set of APIs, libraries, agents, and instrumentation to help you gain observability into your applications by collecting distributed traces, metrics, and logs. OpenTelemetry is designed to be vendor-neutral and can integrate with a range of tracing systems.

Jaeger is a popular open-source distributed tracing system that can act as a backend for collecting, storing, and visualizing trace data generated by applications instrumented with OpenTelemetry.

Together, OpenTelemetry and Jaeger can be used to collect, analyze, and visualize observability data from distributed systems, providing insights into system performance and helping to troubleshoot issues.

Setting Up OpenTelemetry and Jaeger in Spring Boot

Creating an application

Let’s go to https://start.spring.io and create an application with the following dependencies.

Spring Web (required to create REST endpoints)

Spring Boot Actuator

The traces will be collected using the micrometer collector in the actuator dependence and exported using the OpenTelemetry requirement.

This would necessitate the addition of the following dependencies.

The Spring Boot parent will handle the dependency versions.

Following that, we will develop two applications.

To export the spans to Jaeger, we must first develop a span exporter bean, as seen below.

In addition, we will define the Jaeger URL where trace data will be recorded in the properties file.

Service1

Service 2

Here, we set the probability of selecting the tracing to 1, which means that every trace and span is reported to Jaeger.

We will also provide a special logging format so that the spans and traces may be seen in the application logs.

Will also configure bean for RestTemplate

Service-2

in the Controller class

The idea is to call service2 /hello api from service1 /hello api by using RestTemplate.

Starting Jaeger with Docker

To start Jaeger, we have the following docker cmd.

For Jaeger to support the OpenTelemetry input format, we need to set the COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED to true

With this, will start the applications.

Now, let’s visualize the traces in Jaeger UI.

To access the Jaeger UI, open the following URL.

Kubernetes alternatives to Spring Java framework

Spring Cloud and Kubernetes both complement each other to build a cloud-native platform and run microservices on the Kubernetes containers. Kubernetes provides many features which are similar to Spring Cloud and Spring Config Server features. Spring framework has been around for many years. Even today, many organizations prefer to go with Spring because it provides many advanced features with…
