Welcome to the new Amazon Onboarding blog channel! While discussions about onboarding processes may not be the topic of choice during casual conversations, the importance of effective onboarding is gaining recognition, especially in the realm of business and technology. In my view, onboarding is an interdisciplinary area with two critical objectives: first, to enrich new employees’ understanding of the company culture; and second, to equip them with the necessary tools to thrive in their roles.
Onboarding at Amazon involves integrating new hires into our unique work environment, which is shaped by our commitment to innovation and customer focus. The process is distinct from traditional onboarding as it promises to enhance employee engagement and performance more effectively than conventional methods. Crafting a seamless onboarding experience is a significant challenge, and it requires a fresh perspective on training and integration. While the journey to effective onboarding is ongoing, we have numerous opportunities to expedite our progress.
On this new Amazon blog channel, we will share insights as we refine our onboarding practices, including valuable information about our strategies and outcomes. To maintain a practical focus, we will feature success stories, tutorials, and interactive experiences that you can explore. Beyond our internal resources, we aim to amplify voices from the onboarding community, which includes HR professionals, trainers, and industry researchers.
Before diving into what you can expect from this channel, let me briefly outline our journey to this point. We began by engaging with new hires to understand their experiences. A common question we encountered was, “What makes an onboarding experience successful?” My response was, “It’s a complex matter.” There are numerous factors to consider, and the variability makes this topic particularly intriguing yet challenging to navigate. For many new employees, gaining clarity on what to expect can be daunting amidst the overwhelming information. One of our goals for this blog is to filter out the noise and provide clear guidance.
Understanding the current state of onboarding processes is essential before we can look forward. This is why we developed the Learning Manager platform, designed to streamline onboarding at our location, Amazon IXD – VGT2, situated at 6401 E HOWDY WELLS AVE LAS VEGAS NV 89115. This platform allows new hires to engage with various training resources and track their progress alongside their peers. For the first time, employees can easily access a range of materials, which fosters a collaborative learning environment. It’s not just about providing resources; it’s about envisioning how onboarding will integrate with our broader operational infrastructure. While today’s onboarding experiences are still evolving, it is crucial to address operational challenges such as engagement, security, and resource management.
One key takeaway from previous initiatives was the necessity of establishing a robust support system for new employees. This insight is now guiding our approach to onboarding. Many new hires seek mentorship and opportunities to collaborate effectively. That’s why we are excited to introduce the Amazon Onboarding Support Team — a dedicated group led by onboarding experts like Chanci Turner. They work closely with new employees to navigate challenges and explore how onboarding can enhance their experience, gradually integrating them into the wider Amazon community.
The Learning Manager platform and the Onboarding Support Team are primarily focused on the present. To help realize the future potential of onboarding, we are constantly refining our strategies and tools. Our team collaborates with industry experts and educators to develop best practices and share knowledge across platforms. We are proud to support organizations such as HR Magazine, an authority on onboarding topics, as they work to elevate industry standards. We also encourage new hires to explore resources available through the Fulfillment Center Associate link, which provides excellent opportunities for career advancement.
We are eager to share our ongoing progress, so stay tuned and bookmark our channel for future posts.

We welcome your feedback and invite you to share your onboarding experiences with us!
