New Hire Integration
Common wisdom and research indicate that effective on-boarding programs significantly enhance productivity (for both new hires and their co-workers), employee retention, and most importantly customer satisfaction. Fernald & Co. offers a powerful on-boarding program to complement your organization’s new hire practices.
In the first phase of the process, the new employee engages in a series of workstyle review sessions with a Fernald & Co. coach.
This professional development experience yields several important outcomes:
• The employee develops an objective understanding of specific strengths and weaknesses in a framework that is common with peers;
• The employee is guided to create a professional development plan that is in alignment with their workstyle characteristics and structured to ensure accountability for achieving measurable goals;
• The employee appreciates the investment in his or her success, in turn fostering commitment and loyalty to the new employer.
The second phase of our on-boarding process involves a coach-facilitated workstyle review session with the new employee and his or her manager. Team charts are used to illustrate workstyle similarities and differences, and to highlight areas of potential conflict and/or stress in an objective and constructive manner. Formal team agreements are created to support each individual’s communication and workflow needs.
The third phase of the process involves mapping the workstyle characteristics of the new employee against those of individuals with whom they will routinely work. Fernald & Co. coaches then lead a team session to explore the practical implications of style similarities and differences. Team agreements are captured to prevent costly trial and error when integrating the new employee(s) into the team’s processes and practices.
