A model of onboarding (adapted from Bauer & Erdogan, 2011).

Onboarding, also known as organizational socialization, is management jargon first created in the 1970s that refers to the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors in order to become effective organizational members and insiders.

In the United States, for example, up to 25% of workers are organizational newcomers engaged in an onboarding process.

A portable media player (PMP) (also including the related digital audio player (DAP)) is a portable consumer electronics device capable of storing and playing digital media such as audio, images, and video files.

The data is typically stored on a compact disc (CD), Digital Video Disc (DVD), Blu-ray Disc (BD), flash memory, microdrive, or hard drive; most earlier PMPs used physical media, but modern players mostly use flash memory.

In contrast, analogue portable audio players play music from non-digital media that use analogue signal storage, such as cassette tapes or vinyl records.

Employment is a relationship between two parties regulating the provision of paid labour services.

Usually based on a contract, one party, the employer, which might be a corporation, a not-for-profit organization, a co-operative, or any other entity, pays the other, the employee, in return for carrying out assigned work.

Employees work in return for wages, which can be paid on the basis of an hourly rate, by piecework or an annual salary, depending on the type of work an employee does, the prevailing conditions of the sector and the bargaining power between the parties.

Employees in some sectors may receive gratuities, bonus payments or stock options.

In some types of employment, employees may receive benefits in addition to payment.

Benefits may include health insurance, housing, disability insurance.

Employment is typically governed by employment laws, organisation or legal contracts.

A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation, and delivery of educational courses, training programs, or learning and development programs.

The first introduction of the LMS was in the late 1990s.

Learning management systems have faced a massive growth in usage due to the emphasis on remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
