ORGANIZATIONAL TENSIONS
IN EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING
BY RON ZAMIR

eveloping an effective onboarding strategy and program can be one
of the toughest challenges for a corporate learning and development
group. Yet it remains one of the most impactful processes we can influence.
Research by the Human Capital Institute and Society for Human Resource
Management affirms the value of the onboarding process in improving
retention and shortening time to competency. According to SHRM, 60
percent of organizations surveyed saw effective onboarding improve time
to productivity, with BambooHR CEO Ben Peterson saying good onboarding
can improve performance by up to 11 percent.
ELEVATING
YOUR COMPANY'S
ONBOARDING
EXPERIENCE IS
AS MUCH ABOUT
CHOICE AS IT IS
ABOUT DESIGN.
Yet, in our experience, consistent, welldeveloped onboarding remains outside
the reach of many organizations. Moreover,
conflicting priorities and tensions over
onboarding ownership contribute to a
lack of optimization in this critical area of
training. Minimizing these conflicts can be
a key to better onboarding.
ONBOARDING OVERVIEW
Let's first look at the current state of
onboarding strategy. Effective onboarding
results in two overarching outcomes:
lower turnover and faster time to
competency. To achieve these, an
onboarding program should provide the
following employee experiences:
* Orientation on rules and codes
of conduct
* Presentation on the company's
culture and mission
| 42
* Socialization with managers and peers
* Training on tasks and procedures
You could easily rate your organization
by how many of those experiences are
met with new hires in their first 30-6090 days on the job. Recent work by Allen
Communication in this area points to
best-in-class organizations knowing how
to mix and match these tasks for best
results, or, at the very least, focus on less
to achieve more in the two outcomes.
"All too often on-boarding misses the
mark," said Jathan Janove, principal
at Janove Organization Solutions.
"Instead, the process should be treated
as a new beginning-an opportunity
to connect the employee to a shared
purpose, to show how he or she can
make a meaningful difference, and
to establish a connection on an
individual level."
