Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak.
I'm Fei.
Fei.
And I'm Neil.
I hear we have a new recruit joining our team today.
Yes, we have.
It's good to have someone new in the team.
Yes.
Soon he'll be able to do all those mundane tasks I usually have to do.
I hope you don't mean presenting this program.
Of course not.
Anyway, before he does anything, we need to do some onboarding.
You mean like getting on board a ship?
Sort of.
Onboarding,
in business terms is about a new employee familiarizing themselves with the business
and ensuring they have the right skills and knowledge to do their job.
So we need to make our new recruit feel at home.
