Entering the corporate world is often compared to setting sail on unfamiliar waters. There’s excitement, ambition, and opportunity but also uncertainty, hidden challenges, and unexpected turbulence. Onboarding Odyssey Navigating the Perils of Corporate Culture by Abhishek Sharma acts as a compass for anyone preparing to embark on this journey.
Why Onboarding Matters More Than Ever
The onboarding process is more than just orientation or paperwork. It’s a critical period that shapes how new professionals perceive their workplace, establish their identity, and align themselves with the organization’s values and expectations. Yet, most books and trainings either gloss over this phase or treat it as a routine checklist.
Onboarding Odyssey dives deep into the real challenges young employees face unspoken corporate politics, cultural expectations, communication gaps, performance pressure, and the slow realization that academic achievement doesn’t automatically translate to workplace success.
