PLEASE CONTACT US FOR DETAILS. \nA good onboarding and induction program is key to having an ultimately successful hire and avoiding potential failure of an expensive investment (the cost of recruiting and training new team members is often significantly underestimated and failure is often avoidable). \nEffective onboarding guides employees to success by building trust\, instilling your values\, setting expectations\, and ensuring they are trained to enable them to be productive as quickly as possible. We know that a new team member’s experience in their first few months sets the tone for the entire relationship. \nAn effective onboarding requires a structured and comprehensive experience that delivers a positive impression of the business for the new starter. We also know that when speed to competence is rapid\, line managers regard those hired more favourably. With high regard comes praise and with praise comes confidence and a sense of belonging. These are the perfect ingredients for a happy and successful new hire. \nFocus HR works with you to develop an effective\, powerful onboarding and induction process that will give your new employees a positive first experience and see them go from being a rookie to a star performer. \nThe workshop package includes: \nA half day group workshop to develop and tailor your Onboarding and Induction process \nTemplates and tools to kick start the process including: \n\nChecklists for pre-boarding\, induction and sign off\nSetting up your buddy system\nAn example Induction Trello Board\nInformation sheets for communicating expectations and first day information to employees\nA Training Skills Matrix\nManager and Peer check in guides\nTemplate Position Description\nTailored Employee Handbook\nPerformance tools relating to probation and providing guidance in the first 6 months\n\nINTERESTED?
