The process of onboarding new employees is a crucial aspect of organizational success, particularly in electronics companies where technical expertise and seamless integration are paramount. This paper introduces a novel approach to elevate the onboarding experience by implementing an interactive digital platform. By leveraging modern technology, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and interactive tutorials, this platform aims to create an immersive and engaging onboarding journey. The platform seeks to familiarize new employees with the company's culture, policies, and technical practices, thereby reducing the learning curve and accelerating their productivity. Additionally, real-time assessments and personalized learning paths can be incorporated to tailor the onboarding process to individual needs, ensuring a more effective transition. This paper discusses the potential benefits of adopting such a platform, including increased employee satisfaction, reduced time-to-competency, and improved retention rates. Furthermore, challenges related to implementation, technological requirements, and potential resistance to change are addressed. Overall, this proposed interactive digital platform presents a forward-looking approach to onboarding in the electronics industry, aligning with the evolving technological landscape and the diverse learning preferences of modern employees.
