Did you know 30% of new hires leave a job within the first three months? This highlights the critical nature of investing in a solid onboarding process and comprehensive training programs. From the moment a new team member joins, it's vital to make their integration process as smooth and informative as possible. Not only does this involve thorough training on services, product lines, and protocols, but also ensuring a warm, welcoming onboarding experience. Feeling overwhelmed in a new role can deter even the most enthusiastic employees. However, many product and technology brands provide training and sales support; if you’re without a dedicated training coordinator, leveraging these resources can significantly enhance your team's skill set and confidence. Remember, a well-trained employee is a confident and productive one.  #EmployeeRetention #OnboardingSuccess

One of the most significant adjustments a learning professional can make is to align learning with the workflow. Learners need to encode what they learn into memory according to their workflow process. This is especially vital when onboarding a new hire. The speed in which new hires become productive on-the-job increases their self-efficacy which in turn fuels their engagement.

How to welcome a new employee the right way? It is important to prepare thoroughly for your employee’s first day to start their journey on the right foot. The first 6 months are always a difficult learning curve so it is important to work hard to retain the new employee. Here are some of my top tips: 👉 Make sure that the onboarding documents are sent, signed and returned before their start date. 👉 Prepare their workspace – including equipment, office supplies and email access - prior to them starting. 👉 If it's not a new role, prepare a handover schedule for them to complete and make sure that they are happy it’s achievable before the leaving employee finishes their notice period. 👉 If it's a job creation, you will need to think about a training schedule. 👉 Assign them a mentor - someone who will answer their questions, and who they can turn to if they are experiencing issues. 👉 Make sure they are greeted enthusiastically and check in with them at the end of their first day and throughout their early employment. 👉 Remember mistakes will happen, it's a great way for them to learn and for you to put in extra controls and training where needed. #RecruitmentProcess #NewStarter #NewEmployee
