Case Study: Axios accelerates new hire onboarding with Donut

Axios strengthens new hire onboarding with Donut’s 30/60/90-day check-ins

Axios, a media company, sought to build a new hire onboarding program that would effectively introduce employees to its culture and set them up for success, particularly in a remote-first environment. To achieve this, they partnered with the vendor Donut to enhance their onboarding process and integrate their culture throughout the new employee journey.

Donut implemented a customized solution for Axios that included a virtual orientation, quarterly in-person retreats, and a tailored Donut Journey to foster connections. The program incorporated a structured buddy system, enhanced Slack communication, and a dedicated People Team help desk. By measuring success through feedback surveys and tracking retention rates, Axios was able to continuously improve its onboarding, resulting in a program that successfully embeds company culture and sets new hires up for long-term productivity.
