Let's discover what happens when the latest entrants to the workforce are given a voice!

My daughter recently had the opportunity to try out her dream career, courtesy of a two-week Year 10 #workexperience placement. Unfortunately, despite being super keen and eager to learn, her experience was challenging due to a lack of effort and planning in the onboarding process. A completely absent manager, and no clear communication or guidance from the other members of the team left her feeling #disconnected and unsure of how she could make an impact. So much so, she is no longer interested in that profession. AT ALL! 😲 Even though this was ‘only’ work experience, it really hammered home how crucial a well-structured onboarding process is to ensuring employees feel welcomed, supported, and #engaged from day one. When new hires feel valued, motivated and are given the tools they need to succeed, it sets the stage for a positive work experience and maximises their potential. They become an essential driving force for the company's growth and success. Thankfully this has opened her eyes and fired her drive to explore other opportunities, but if this had been a real job, imagine the impact 😱 #EmployeeEngagement #Onboarding #WorkplaceCulture #FirstImpressionsMatter #PeopleFirstCulture

Hello Everyone! Happy holidays. Here is a new publication I wrote on the pros and cons of being promoted through friendship rather than merit. Enjoy and look forward to your feedback. :) In the professional world, the path to career advancement is often perceived as a journey paved with hard work, dedication, and merit-based promotions. However, there are instances where individuals find themselves climbing the corporate ladder through connections and friendships rather than strictly on merit. While this phenomenon may offer certain advantages, it also raises questions about fairness, competence, and the overall health of the work environment. https://lnkd.in/dB2-dS4r
