• Description:
  Objective:
  
  To test the feasibility and efficacy of an enhanced onboarding intervention to prevent weight gain and support the early job success of new bus operators.
  
  Methods:
  
  Control participants (n=9) completed usual practice new employee training and onboarding. Intervention participants (n=14) completed five supplemental trainings and four online challenges during their first year. Primary outcomes were body weight, dietary behaviors, physical activity, and sleep duration/quality. Early job success was evaluated with newcomer adjustment factors.
  
  Results:
  
  The difference between intervention and control participants in body weight change at 12 months tenure was −6.71 lb (Cohen’s d = −1.35). Differences in health behavior changes were mixed, but newcomer adjustment changes favored the intervention group.
  
  Conclusions:
  
  Results support the feasibility of enhanced onboarding for bus operators to prevent worsening health while simultaneously advancing their success as new employees.
