#Onboarding – effective management

Dear #CEO
“How can we effectively manage our #onboardingprocess with new #employees whilst minimising our costs?”.
This question is from our #yokoten #conference.

👍I would have to look at 3 #kpis before answering your question.
👍 Details of employee  #fluctuations  and  #employeeengagement  particularly over the first 6 months.
👍 How does your #standardwork look in practice! Do you have one and does it work and when was it last improved and finally.
👍#qualitymanagementsystem and your customer claims internal #qcinspector results. What are your real costs !

I can ensure you that the three KPI’s above generate more costs than any well developed onboarding programme. Here are a few tips.
💪Treat #leadership in onboarding as a #strategic #culture building initiative. It’s not only #hr who are responsible for #recruiting and #developing new employees. Its leadership and especially line #management and #supervisors.
💪Perform #dexterity #teambuilding and #process tests.
💪Assign trained, #motivated and capable #coaches to each person.
💪Perform regular twoway (#feedback) meetings for progress and address any issues which arise. Don’t wait.
💪Make sure all company #policies, #procedures, #rewards and internal #culturechange create awareness and responsibility to new recruits. In writing and through #visualmanagement
💪Monitor the 3 KPI’s #performance regularly as a result of #onboarding.
🍒Every new recruit is important to the business and to the persons involved. They are the future of your business.
👹Any failure in getting the KPI’s and Onboarding right is a failure of #leadership. A hard lesson but it’s down to top management to get it right, support it and for operations to deliver it.
