New Hire Onboarding Excellence Award Nomination

Celebrate Mentorship Excellence with Paperform

New hire onboarding can make or break an employee's first impression—and the mentors who guide them deserve recognition. This New Hire Onboarding Excellence Award nomination form makes it easy to identify and celebrate the team members who go above and beyond to welcome, train, and support new colleagues during their crucial first months.

Perfect for HR teams, people operations managers, and team leads, this template captures the full picture of mentorship impact: from quantitative feedback scores and retention metrics to heartfelt mentee testimonials. Instead of relying on gut feeling or limited data, you can gather structured nominations that highlight real outcomes and genuine appreciation.

The form guides nominators through essential details—mentor information, specific achievements, measurable impact on retention and performance, and personal stories that bring the nomination to life. Conditional logic ensures you only collect relevant information based on the nominator's relationship to the mentor, while calculation fields can help quantify overall impact scores.

Once submitted, use Stepper to route nominations through your approval workflow, notify selection committees, and automatically update your HR system or recognition platform. When it's time to announce winners, you'll have rich, detailed submissions that tell the complete story of mentorship excellence—not just names on a list.

Whether you're running quarterly recognition programs, annual awards, or spot recognition initiatives, this template helps you build a culture where exceptional onboarding mentorship is celebrated and encouraged across your organization.
