Onboarding
Does your onboarding process develop engaged and productive employees, ensuring their long-term commitment?
"A thorough onboarding process can dramatically reduce the amount of time a new executive needs to reach full capacity and ultimately increase their chances of success within an organization," said Bob Damon, president of North America for Korn/Ferry. "Too many employers miss out on the unique opportunities for building relationships, clarifying expectations and establishing priorities that formalized onboarding efforts afford."

Onboarding is a long-term talent development process. It helps new, recently acquired, transferred or promoted talent to become fully engaged and culturally aware members of an organization's workforce. It works for employees at all levels. To make onboarding a success, it is critical that Recruiting, HR and the Hiring Managers are involved in the process. The handoff between post-boarding and onboarding can be murky. The involvement of these people/departments gives a new hire a positive impression of the company from Day One and throughout the end of their onboarding experience.
By creating a framework for welcoming a new hire at any level, organizations will be able to improve productivity with dedicated, motivated employees that want to do more to help the company succeed.
