No exercise is perhaps as vital in instilling a sense of loyalty and association in an employee about the organization she has just joined, as onboarding. Onboarding goes beyond just orientation, which is a onetime exercise. Onboarding is a continuous process that lasts weeks, months, and sometimes, even years, and has the purpose of acclimatizing the employee with the organization.
An onboarding process that goes awry can spell disaster for the organization, because when the employee’s attitude is not made to align with the organization during this initial period, the employee is not likely to develop a sense of fealty for the organization, and in fact, is likely to develop a negative attitude towards it.
The result of bad onboarding are there to see: no fewer than half the hourly wage employees quit within four months of joining, and half of the regular wage employee leave the organization in less than 18 months.
The antidote to this ailment is for organizations to have a properly designed and executed onboarding plan in place. So, how do organizations do this? A webinar from TrainHR, a leading provider of professional training for the human resources areas, which is being organized on March 27, will show how. Co-founder of Omega HR Solutions, Inc., Michael Haberman, will be the expert at this session.
