Why Effective Employee Onboarding is a Game Changer: Part 2 In the previous post we discussed the reasons why onboarding when done right can benefit organisations in the long-term. Here are four more reasons why your organisation would benefit from effective employee onboarding: 5️⃣ Cultural Integration and Enrichment: Onboarding is a prime opportunity to showcase an organization's values, mission, and unique culture. It's where new hires learn how they fit into the bigger picture and can contribute positively to the workplace culture. 6️⃣ Fostering Teamwork and Leadership: Effective onboarding nurtures connections and mentorship. It's where leaders build strong relationships, share knowledge, and cultivate future leaders within the organization. 7️⃣ Managerial Accountability and Accessibility: Regular check-ins during onboarding ensure managers stay connected, gather feedback, and address any concerns promptly. It's about nurturing a culture where employees feel valued and heard. 8️⃣ Simple Implementation for Any Organization: Implementing an effective onboarding program isn't complex. By focusing on the 5 C’s—compliance, clarification, culture, connection, and check-back—organizations can streamline the process and leverage technology for a seamless experience. #hr #consulting #employeeengagement #changemanagement #organisationalchange #SouthAfrica #renovatio

AN ENGAGED culture is built from the start!🏁 Here are THREE REASONS why… 🗣️ The hiring process is your first opportunity to communicate your company's values, mission, and culture to potential employees, which sets the foundation for what they can expect and how they can contribute to the culture. 🤝 During onboarding, new hires start building relationships with their colleagues and superiors. A well-designed onboarding process can foster these connections, making employees feel part of a team and improving their engagement. 🚀 Transparency during the hiring and onboarding process establishes trust - a crucial component of an engaged culture. Because when employees trust their organization, they're more likely to be engaged and committed.

4 Ways You Can Use #EX to Attract and Retain Talent in 2024 🌟 1. Onboarding For most companies, EX is still in its early stages. The focus is on fixing specific moments in the employee journey that matter most, and there is no more important of those than onboarding. In fact, according to a Glassdoor survey, onboarding improves a company’s retention rate by 82% if conducted properly. Onboarding is a critical moment where you can really start delivering on the promises made in your Employee Value Proposition (EVP). You never get a second chance to make a first impression. 2. Performance reviews  Provide managers with clear objective-setting templates and simple ‘how-tos’. Worryingly, fewer than 50% of employees know what’s expected of them at work. Get goal setting right and you go a long way towards setting your people up for success. 3. Recognition  Organizations with formal employee recognition programs have 31% less voluntary turnover than organizations that don't have any programs. Have a formal recognition system in place that acknowledges all levels and areas of your business. 4. Showcase your culture The importance of culture to both sides cannot be overstated. 90% of employers believe it is very important to find a candidate who is the right cultural fit, and 73% of employees have left a job due to experiencing a poor cultural match.

Onboarding doesn’t end after the first week Ever noticed a drop in employee engagement or productivity after the first few weeks? Organizations often invest a lot in the first week of onboarding to make new hires feel welcome and give them the basics. However, the mistake is thinking that this initial immersion is sufficient for long-term engagement. Companies with the best onboarding and retention are those that: Provide ongoing support It sounds simple Yet 8/10 onboarding programs don’t have official post training support Post training support is not “Feel free to reach out to me any time” “If you need support, don't hesitate to ask” “If you ever need anything, ping me” Let’s be proactive in incorporating ongoing support in our onboarding program Without ongoing support, employees feel Disconnected leading to decreased morale, and a less cohesive workplace How do you currently support your employees beyond their first few weeks? Comment below What impact do you think it has on their long-term engagement? #EmployeeExperience #EffectiveOnboarding ##CompanyCulture

WHAT'S THE BEST TIME TO START WITH PURPOSE? On my way to Onboard Amsterdam, a big conference about employee onboarding. Having helped many companies bring purpose to business, I can say the best moment to do so is during the employee onboarding process. That's the best time to help your people uncover and align their purpose with their organisation's. But that's not enough! You need to reinforce it and spread it across existing employees too! Otherwise, you will create an amazing experience for your new people but a great frustration as well when they don't hear about it after their onboarding time. Let's see who wins the award for the best onboarding this year and if more companies are bringing purpose to their business. #purpose #leadership #management #employeeengagement #employeeonboarding #onboardamsterdam #hr #humanresources #people #teamwork
