Post-boarding

What are you doing to cultivate employees throughout their lifetime of service into the company's leaders of tomorrow?

"Layoffs, cutbacks and stress inflicted on employees in the economic downturn have left many of them discontented and disengaged. As this pent-up frustration is released, the impact on businesses, their work forces and their customers will be pronounced." (Jon Picoult, New York Times, "Turnover Storm")

Can the storm be avoided? Probably not, but organizations can help their employees weather these tumultuous times and break-up the clouds hanging over their heads. Leaders must help their talent move forward, and get re-engaged and excited about their future and contributions to the company.

Like onboarding, post-boarding is designed to provide learning and development initiatives that should continue throughout the employee's career with the company. Managers need the tools and processes to identify their employees' strengths and development needs. They must provide ongoing opportunities to create a strong talent pool and company leaders of tomorrow.
