Great ideas for using community and collaboration as the cornerstone of onboarding. I recently joined a new company in the education space, and I've been impressed by their use of social networking in particular. They have an active social network, and it's helping me to find people and connect with colleagues I need to get to know in other divisions both locally and abroad. And thanks to active groups and discussions in the network, I'm already gravitating towards people who are passionate about green issues and social involvement wherever they may be in the business. It's all helping me to feel home and wired into the existing knowledge a lot sooner than would otherwise have been the case.
