Over the last few months I have been contacted by a number of people looking to build new on boarding processes for their businesses, and I wanted to share a few observations and thoughts with you if you are planning to do the same.<\/p>\n
So here we go\u2026 What makes a great onboarding experience?<\/p>\n
When it comes to truly valuing the people that you\u2019re investing in, there\u2019s no better place to start than creating a delightful induction programme.<\/p>\n
If you engage both the head and the heart, you\u2019ll appeal to both logic and emotion.<\/p>\n
Paving a smooth path getting up to full speed and laying the foundations of a fruitful working relationship.<\/p>\n
I believe that a mix of the practical with the playful, purpose with personality will deliver an exciting and useful initial experience for colleagues.<\/p>\n
Now this does not mean you should run off and create a load of collateral..in the same way as you might approach building a customer experience, look at it from a \u201d Resources First\u201d approach. For example what do you need people to Think, Feel and Do as a result of the interactions, how do you involve the management, colleagues from across the company so it is no longer the domain of HR to lead and manage on boarding.<\/p>\n
There are some fantastic examples of innovation in this space, just look at L\u2019Oreal creating a on boarding app, Linked in Toolkit in a Box or even the Culture Books that companies are creating. However it is in my opinion important to keep asking yourself WHY and HOW does this enhance the experience for newbies and if you do not need it do not do it!<\/p>\n
The 4 building blocks that I use when supporting companies are:<\/p>\n
By looking through this lense you will create a consistent and creative approach on or offline which addresses the questions you are trying to answer be that high levels of churn, engagement, diversity etc.<\/p>\n
So if you would like to know more and chat about some of the cool innovations in this space connect with me and happy to share.<\/p>\n
