How do you make an onboarding event fun and informative?

A fun and informative event is not a contradiction. It's integration. Put informative content in a playful setting:

• Not a lecture but guided sessions with group work.
• Sharing knowledge through colleagues (authentic and enjoyable) rather than presentations.
• Small prizes or recognition for attendees who ask questions or answer facts correctly.
• Informal spaces where conversations start.
• Good food and drinks.

People relax with food. Humour and recognition in communications also work. Make sure new staff members are active, not passive. Personalise where possible: their name, their department, their role. Live Impact designs programmes where information feels natural and fun is central.
