Method: A qualitative study of how new employees can be acclimatized through theonboarding process to the organizational culture. The study is conducted with a deductiveapproach and the empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Conclusion: The result of the study shows four criteria’s that are important to give new employees as goodconditions as possible to acclimate them to the organizational culture. The first finding of thestudy is that organizations need to consider which employee they choose to hire to be able togive the new employee the best opportunity to acclimate to the organizational culture and thata structured onboarding process is better than an unstructured onboarding process. Furthermore, the study found that organizations should introduce an early first impression ofthe culture to introduce the new employee to the organizational culture. An early introductionof the organizational culture contributes with the opportunity for new employees toacclimatize to the organizational culture faster than if the new employee needs to discoverwhat culture that prevails on their own. The organization should also work with differentplatforms to project the culture onto the new employee in the workplace through differentactivities or with the help of existing employees. Key Words: Acclimatization, Organizational Culture, Onboarding, Norms, Values.
