Onboarding is a key step for any organization introducing a new leader to their team. Understandably, most organizations have their own processes in place tailored to fit their unique company structure and culture. From completing paperwork and setting up a workspace, to meeting and building relationships with the team, these steps are necessary to integrate a leader into a new mindset and organizational flow.
If you don’t have an internal process in place, Harvard Business Review provides a great place to start: HTTPS://HBR.ORG/2019/06/HOW-TO-ONBOARD-NEW-HIRES-AT-EVERY-LEVEL
As recruiters, we partner with companies to find and hire talent, becoming a long-term ally to help organizations achieve continued success. After the hire, we continue to act as a resource and include onboarding as part of our process to ensure a smooth transition and avoid any unanticipated obstacles. This helps to accelerate the level of communication, awareness, and trust for both leaders and the new hire.
How does our onboarding complement an existing internal process?
While an internal onboarding process is critical for new hires, the addition of our outside perspective and pre-existing relationship with our candidates can help create a higher level of success. We have a series of conversations over the course of 6-12 months, focusing on 5 key areas:
Clarity of the role and responsibilities
Power of candid communication
Organizational commitment
Relationship building
Cultural nuance
We have countless examples of ways onboarding has contributed to the long-term success of our clients and candidates. At Misura Group, our goal is to accelerate the level of trust new hires have with their leaders. Candor is how true friends talk; the challenge is the length of time it takes for friendship-level relationships to develop in the workplace. Leaders who view onboarding as a great opportunity have the greatest success. Give us a call at (612)326-3006 to see how we can support your company growth through innovative hiring solutions.
