The crew you need 90 days from now starts on Day 1
A solid onboarding process isn’t just a good look—it’s your first move in the fight to hire and keep great people.
Over the last 20 years I’ve hired and onboarded hundreds of people.
Here are 3 important things I’ve learned:
1 Handing someone a stack of papers to sign isn’t onboarding—it’s a missed opportunity. In a high-turnover industry, time is money—and onboarding is your first step in building an awesome team that stays with you.
2 The time and money you spend onboarding will be returned in spades. Large corporations don’t have robust onboarding programs because they think it’s fun. They do it because it makes them money. The facts are, employers who implement a solid onboarding strategy won’t just get a more productive and loyal crew—they actually save time on hiring, have fewer injuries, and compete for the best people in their local job market.
3 The new generation of workers will respect you, the company, and their position more when you take the time to show them what you expect from them and what they can expect from you. That means they’ll work harder and stay longer.
HERE’S THE TRUTH
Workers who are clear on expectations and culture by Day 5 can become fully productive up to 2 weeks faster than those who are not, and are 69% more likely to stay past 3 months. Source: NCCER & Construction Users Roundtable
I’ve spent years figuring out what works (and what doesn’t). Now you can skip the trial-and-error and use the tools I wish I’d had from the start.
