Training
Training is one of the most important parts of onboarding. Although it may be mundane, having a clearly defined training process is an important component of any successful new hire integration plan.
For many, computerized training can seem tedious. Most of us try to “rush” through it. Doing so may cause your new hire to overlook key pieces of info, or to get that “glazed over” look half-way through a single day. Best practice for digital training is to break up the sessions as much as possible. Then, schedule sit-down meetings with the new employee, engaging with them on some of the content you know they have recently gone through. Solicit feedback and encourage honest opinions. These opinions, if taken with an open mind, could lead to positive change for your organization and possibly even a happier, healthier work environment.
