A taste of it
A new joiner's first weeks decide whether they stay. They want to know: do I belong here, what is expected of me, how do I get things done, and who can I ask? Onboarding video answers these questions consistently for every joiner, in every location, without taking your team's time. Aim: make the person feel their decision was right. Film the leader in a real space and avoid corporate formality. Ask them to talk to one imaginary new joiner.

How to use it
Do not make one long onboarding video. Make a series of short ones, each answering one question a new joiner asks. Start with the welcome message and the tools video, which have the most impact.
