onboarding new employees

Question

I'm not in HR, but I'm trying to help develop some new onboarding processes / ideas at my company (we're hiring a lot). Anyone have any particularly good ones? I'm thinking of more general / social-type things.

I responded to a similar question earlier today that I will re-share.

When I started with my new company, There was a bag with a muffin at my new desk, along with a corporate coffee mug and a hand-written post-it welcoming me to the company.  After that, I was shown around (restrooms, supplies, break room) and introduced to everyone.  I was also given a list of CBT courses I needed to complete within the first 30 days (such as company history, internet security, HR policies, some tool training).

What would have been good is if someone sat with me for the first hour (after the tour) to help me log in, set up printers, and even share favorites to internal websites (such as training, policies, etc.).

Assigning a mentor for the first month would be great.  That person could stop by daily to see what questions the person has and offer any assistance.
