The Health Center Onboarding Checklist (HCOC) has been designed by the STAR² Center to provide a structure and a process for welcoming and integrating new hires at your organization. The tool begins with a background on onboarding and its components including: why it is important, how it bridges recruitment and retention efforts, and how to apply the Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) lens. The HCOC tool also includes an editable template for onboarding and a baseline list of documents required as part of the onboarding process. The tool is available as a Word Document so that is can be a working, living document that users can easily modify to reflect their unique health center’s policies and procedures and stay up-to-date with changing workforce needs and the evolving healthcare environment.
