A friend tells the story of a new staff member who arrived to start work Monday morning and no one told the Sydney team to expect him. No one had any idea what to do with him.
I personally have started at jobs it took me a week to get a phone, PC and everything organised to start work and they had know I was coming for a month.
Staff on-boarding is a serious task, which most companies pay no attention to and it costs them dearly. You can’t imagine a team member wanting to stay with a company that couldn’t be bothered to at least organise a welcome delegation and a desk and yet most companies are crap and don’t care.
We call this free points, you get an easy win with no competition if you just handle it a little smarter.
You were going to have to induct the new team member into the company anyway, wouldn’t it make sense to do a great job of it and win the employee over at the same time as getting them productive faster?

We know the long, tedious, and costly processes that go with employee on-boarding. We know because we’ve been there, too. With WorkBright, you can: WorkBright moves traditional employee on-boarding to a mobile first solution that workers complete before they arrive. We save you time and money on your on-boarding so you can get back to interacting with people, not pushing paper. |
