A key aspect is what used to be known as "friendliness" but has become "inclusiveness". Existing members have to be approachable and open so that new members feel comfortable. Its difficult if there is an established group with the behaviour of some members being tolerated by others. The tolerant members need to be "woke" to the situation and provide encouragement/support to new members.
Employers are adopting a process of mentoring new-starts and whilst that is probably far too formal for a club, the concept is good. It tends to happen normally as new members become more comfortable and conversations flow.
