But I hired a few people to my analytics team in the last couple of years and experimented with onboarding strategies. The key challenge was to get them acquainted with the data and the documentation. Because if you are working on an analysis and can't find the data - it really sucks!
So i designed a 3 week onboarding covering different modules of the product. Everyday someone from the team would take a 2 hr call and explain the module, the data, and the key aspects of the same, and then the new joinee could do some data exploration or work on a small problem.
It worked okay. It was too much though. So wondering what to do next.
Very timely article for me. I am ramping up a confluence page at work to onboard a new guy.
Yet to have a good onboarding experience.
