What are the benefits to the new hire and the employer of providing post New Hire Orientation information and events?
Expands the onboarding process
Fosters relationships with others
Makes them continue to feel welcomed
Shares non-critical information
Further assimilate into culture
Reduces turnover
Let’s take a look at our first objective…
Webinar #1 = difference between onboarding (journey) and NHO (scheduled event)
Functions:
Identifying and recruiting
Giving new hires the tools they need to work
Helping new hires work well with others
Helping new hires and their teams achieve success
With those differences in mind, let’s start out with a poll…
Activity
POLL FEATURE
The onboarding program at my organization is…
1-2 weeks
3-4 weeks
1-2 months
3-6 months
6-12 months
Over 1 year
SM curtain: lasts 6 months
How long do you onboard?
30, 60, 90 days up to 1 year
May vary based on your industry
Skoda Minotti curtain: 6 months
What topics and/or meetings are included? At what frequency?
Topics
Need To Know

(Webinar #2 = scheduling topics)
Example: how to sign up for community involvement opportunities
Review company handbook, policies and procedures
Safety/Compliance training
Visiting different locations
Measure performance
Process

Those involved
Exposure to products
Encourage them to be sincere supporters
P&G example (health care items (toothpaste, hair care) and home care items (detergent, air fresheners))
Social media profiles
Introductions to other departments
Interactions with others
Frequency
Consider essential vs non-essential topics
Frequency of events – intro to performance appraisal process
How do you ease the new hire into their new position?
You may have to partner with receiving manager to help select first task
Set them up for success
Task should leverage their strengths and experience
Connect the dots as to how this task fits into the overall department’s contributions and ultimately company’s success
(Webinar #1 = millennials eager to know how their contributions fit into big picture)
Encourage innovative thinking and asking “why is it done this way?”
Establish checkpoints along the way to due date
Next objective…
Activity
TYPE RESPONSES IN CHAT
Who should a new hire connect with as part of the onboarding process?
Manager
Department / Team / Neighbors
Leaders
Human Resources
Buddy / Mentor
As we discuss many of these connections, you also have to think about the most appropriate time and topics (accounting at month end)
Review job description
How their role fits into department and how department fits into company
Discuss department policies/culture – hours, order supplies, PTO, overtime, holidays, potlucks, etc.
Open an IT ticket
Identify any scheduled rotations, shadowing, etc.
Introduce department’s team goals, major projects, key clients, recurring schedules (team meetings), etc.
Write a career development plan
All levels benefit from a career development plan
Include S.M.A.R.T. goals
Write it for the individual (not exclusively for the generation or career level)
Do not ignore the needs of top executive, senior-career and mid-career employees
Map out future training
Set agenda for future touchpoints – 30, 60, 90 days
Feedback on their performance
Celebrate successes
Provide guidance, as needed
Adjust S.M.A.R.T. goals, as needed
Note: You/HR may have to train the mangers who are receiving new hires on making a new hire feel welcome, the above topics, frequency of discussions, etc.
Casual conversation
Flow of work
What is it like to work:
With this manager
In this industry
In this culture
Department
Company
Coffee maker
Closest printer
Name plate
Lime green nameplate for first 90 days (like driver’s license)
Afterwards standard nameplate
No “cubicle world” NEXT SLIDE…– neighbors who work on the same floor, stand in the same production line, drive the forklift, etc.
Neighbors who work on the same floor, stand in the same production line, drive the forklift, etc.
CEO
Other department leaders
Buddies
Mentors
Ambassadors (Webinar #2)
Other new hires
Networking events
Mixers
Volunteer events
Develop the relationship with HR and the new hire
How they are adapting to culture
Challenges that they have faced and outcomes
Any feedback they have about their experiences (separate from survey feedback)
Stay interviews
Standard, structured questions asked in a conversational manner
Deciding on your probationary period
May have been communicated at hiring time but worth repeating
What happens during this period?
New hire is determining if the position meets their expectations
Employer is determining if the new hire possess the knowledge skills and competencies to be successful
Offer to meet periodically / open door
Last objective…

Quantitative
Numbers, measurements, comparisons
Can be done with surveys, polls, productivity reports, etc.
Qualitative

Can be done in conversations with HR, manager, etc.
Determine baselines
Employee satisfaction
Retention / Turnover rates (can even start comparing as recently as 3 months)
Productivity of teams
Took team of 3 seasoned employees 4 days to make 1 widget
Took team of 3 seasoned employees + 1 new hire 3 days to make 1 widget
Create, distribute, analyze and share evaluation

You might be asking yourself…all four webinars…how do we get started…
Whether you are creating or improving, there are lots of resources available.
Interview others
Past new hires
Seasoned employees
Management
Ask them
What do new hires need to know about us to make them comfortable here?
What impression and impact do we want to have on a new hire?
What policies and procedures must new hires be aware of on the first day?
What positive experience can we provide that the new hire would discuss with her family at the end of the first day of work?
How can we help prepare the new hire's supervisor for their arrival and helping them to feel welcome?
Consider each new hire as an individual (Webinar #1)
Honor your organization, culture and industry
Retail is different from health care or accounting
There is no one size fits all
Put your best foot forward to welcome and retain the new hire
