Change in a company happens; change is a natural element of running a company. Being able to easily transition and assist new employees into the organization is an important part of the company. Onboarding is the way that new employees will gain the knowledge or skills needed to complete their job. This is essential for all level of employees - from interns to your new VP. Everyone needs to get settled into the company and know how to perform their jobs well.
As the hiring manager or supervisor of the new employee, it is your job to really assist in the learning process. But there are things you can do from an early stage in hiring to make sure that onboarding will go smoothly. It starts with really qualifying your potential employees; it is always advisable to make use of things like applicant screening software to narrow down the search. Once you have the right people to interview, you can begin your steps towards hiring and training the right person.
Onboarding Tricks To prepare for the first day of new hire orientation, there are a few basic questions to ask. How many individuals will you be hiring today? How many will be attending the training? If there are overlaps in the departments, can I do breakout groups? What paperwork is required of all new hires? What training is important? Being able to answer a few of the basic questions that arise during the first days is important. Not only for your team internally but for the new hire. In addition, there are several things you need to round up:
Take for example, a resident screening software company, focusing on the customer service division of the company. Not only does your new applicant need to be able to communicate well with customers, but they also need to be able to problem solve, manage stress, and clearly understand their role.
Be sure to outline these basic job expectations during the hiring process:
Follow a Few Simple Rules Live and work by the simple guides from onboarding experts. They have set out a list of commandments that can enable success and stability for your company. Part of having employees stay is having them feel a sense of purpose at their job. Enable them to feel this way by showing them what they do, why they do it, and what difference that makes in the lives of others.
Short-term Trial Period: giving yourself a 90 day grace period before things become permanent will help you ensure you made the right choice. Testing Before Signing: before you sign the offer letter, you can always set them up at a computer in the office to test their skills, abilities, or get more details about their skills.
Always Check References: people can load their resume, and yes, they can also provide fake references. But call around to employers that have recently worked with the individual to really get an idea of their work ethic and abilities. Provide Regular Training: once you have the body in the seat and the first trainings are done, don't forget to train on updates. As things develop in your company you need to make sure that everyone stays aware of these changes.
Next, do not neglect to introduce them to the office. No matter the size of your company, it is important for everyone to be acquainted with the new face. Being able to meet everyone will also help your employee start creating a network and eventually making friends. And what would work be if you hated everyone you worked with?
* Prepare their workstation and stock with needed items, like a computer. * Deliver the HR paperwork to the employee or HR. * Schedule meetings and trainings to get them familiar with what you do. * Schedule one-on-one meetings to get updates and feedback * Bring them into the culture and ensure their success by introducing them around.
It's a lot easier to weed out problem employees before you hire them, as opposed to finding out you have to fire them after they've already received a few paychecks.
