Glossary of Human Resources Management and Employee Benefit Terms
Pre-boarding refers to the process of engaging with new hires between the time they accept a job offer and their official start date, ensuring a smooth transition into the organization by providing information, resources, and support to help them prepare for their new role.
Pre-boarding is the process of facilitating early access or preparation for a particular activity or event. In the context of airlines, pre-boarding refers to allowing certain passengers to board an aircraft before the general boarding process begins. This may include passengers with disabilities, those traveling with young children, or individuals requiring extra time or assistance to board.
For passengers, pre-boarding provides added convenience and assistance, especially for those with special needs or requiring extra time to board. It reduces stress and anxiety associated with the boarding process and ensures a smoother transition onto the aircraft. For airlines, pre-boarding enhances operational efficiency by streamlining the boarding process, minimizing delays, and optimizing the use of boarding resources.
On Southwest Airlines, pre-boarding is typically available to passengers who require special assistance, such as those with disabilities, mobility limitations, or medical conditions. Additionally, families traveling with young children (aged six and under) may also be eligible for pre-boarding. Passengers requiring pre-boarding should notify a Southwest Airlines representative at the gate and request assistance accordingly.
To get pre-boarding on airlines, passengers should:
Pre-boarding allows airlines to prioritize passengers with specific needs, such as those requiring assistance or families with young children, ensuring they board the aircraft first and without rush. By addressing these passengers' needs separately from the general boarding process, airlines can prevent congestion at the gate and facilitate a more orderly and efficient boarding experience for all passengers.

These are short surveys that can be sent frequently to check what your employees think about an issue quickly. The survey comprises fewer questions (not more than 10) to get the information quickly. These can be administered at regular intervals (monthly/weekly/quarterly).
Having periodic, hour-long meetings for an informal chat with every team member is an excellent way to get a true sense of what’s happening with them. Since it is a safe and private conversation, it helps you get better details about an issue.
eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) is one of the simplest yet effective ways to assess your employee's opinion of your company. It includes one intriguing question that gauges loyalty. An example of eNPS questions include: How likely are you to recommend our company to others? Employees respond to the eNPS survey on a scale of 1-10, where 10 denotes they are ‘highly likely’ to recommend the company and 1 signifies they are ‘highly unlikely’ to recommend it.
Airlines can promote inclusivity and respect during the pre-boarding process by:
Depending on the airline and passenger needs, additional services or accommodations may be offered during the pre-boarding process. These could include wheelchair assistance, priority seating assignments, early access to overhead bin space, or assistance with stowing carry-on luggage. Airlines may also provide guidance or support to passengers navigating the airport or aircraft environment.
