Abstract -:Employee onboarding is a vital HR function that helps new employees adapt, understand roles, and become productive. This study analyzes the effectiveness of onboarding at Saint-Gobain India Private Limited, focusing on employee experiences, role clarity, support systems, and early performance. Data were collected through questionnaires and secondary sources, using a descriptive research design with statistical tools like percentage analysis, Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and Spearman’s correlation. Findings indicate that while onboarding is generally effective, gaps exist in timely access to resources, clarity of roles, and consistent support. The study concludes that a structured and inclusive onboarding process enhances employee satisfaction, performance, and retention, recommending improved coordination and continuous support.Key Words: Employee onboarding, role clarity, employee engagement, retention, organizational support, onboarding effectiveness, HR practices
