Description

The way people move from job to job is undergoing a massive change, as are their expectations on their future workplaces and their employers. From clear and almost limitless development opportunities to a strong sense of purpose, the demands on the new hire menu card are increasing. Onboarding is a powerful vehicle that can help companies deliver on these expectations. Successfully deployed, it can ensure higher engagement, organisational readiness, better time-to-performance, better retention, lower stress-levels, and better bottom lines. However very few companies adopt a considered onboarding approach and instead rely on a checklist methodology that harnesses but a fraction of the full potential of onboarding.
Onboarding: Getting New Hires off to a Flying Start provides a clear and structured framework for professionalising the discipline of onboarding new hires. It explains how to work with elements such as culture and rules, how to ensure connection for your new hires, and how to work with pushing performance and development forward in a balanced way. Filled with facilitation tools, real life cases, best-practice recommendations, ways to train your leaders, and ways of tracking and measuring the onboarding efforts in your company, it is a complete manual on how to design a structured onboarding process and how to get your new hires off to a flying start.
Written for managers and human resource teams, this book will provide clear guidance on how to design a complete onboarding process from the preboarding stage up to 6 month programmes, how to organise central and local designs, and how to involve the leadership of your organisation in the onboarding efforts.

Reviews
Harpelund, Hojberg, and Nielsen's goal is to teach employers so thoroughly for their new hires, that those hires will be able to hit the deck running. The book's onboarding program ensures staff retention, increases productivity, strengthens and maintains engagement and motivation. The company should have everything at the ready when the new person walks through the door to minimize the possibility of their bolting early in their new duties. That includes small things, like a chair, a phone, a colleague to talk to, business cards, access cards, among other things. Onboarding is also about shaping the new hire's perception of company culture so they are clear regarding the efforts and results required of them. Research demonstrates that proper onboarding increases new hire commitment, reduces the delay before full performance is reached, reduces stress, and increases job satisfaction and retention rates. It shows that the returns for allocating resources for a sophisticated onboarding program are great and can be even higher than one could achieve by increasing investment in the recruitment. The book provides the necessary understanding and proper tools to draw up an onboarding program that addresses the problem of colleagues leaving too soon or taking too long to become fully productive. As an added bonus, the tools and insight the book offers can work strategically on a wide range of other issues important to business. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
