TOPIC OF THE MONTH: ONBOARDING

Onboarding is the process of bringing a new employee into your organisation. The purpose of onboarding is to provide everything a new hire needs to feel welcome and do their job well. That takes time, so onboarding is not a one-day event; it may continue for weeks or even months. Key steps in the onboarding process include:

  • Communicating with the new employee before their first day and helping them prepare
  • Helping them learn about your organisation and get acquainted with their colleagues
  • Providing clear expectations about work responsibilities
  • Giving them thorough job training
  • Providing all the resources they’ll need, such as a computer, office supplies, people they can turn to with questions, etc.

Everyone who meets the new person can play an important part in helping them thrive. But to make sure nothing slips through the cracks, it’s important to have one person assigned to organise and monitor each new employee’s onboarding.

Why is Onboarding Important?

A survey of 1,000+ adults conducted by BambooHR revealed that employees, who experienced effective onboarding were 18 times more likely to feel highly committed to their organisation, 30 % more likely to feel strongly integrated into their workplace culture, and 30 times more likely to have high job satisfaction! Also, organisations with effective onboarding had 38 % more employees who were confident in their ability to do their job, 69 % more employees who rated their organisation as a strong performer, and 33 % more employees who felt engaged. So, there is every reason to spend some time on your onboarding process.

Using PI in Your Onboarding Process

An important part of the onboarding process is getting to know your new colleague and for them to get to know their new manager and team. PI can add tremendous value to this process. The PI profile makes it easy to understand what drives the person, what their needs are in the workplace, and how you work well with them. It also makes it easier for the new colleague to understand the new team they’ll be working with. We suggest handing out a couple of PI reports to the new employee and their manager on day one, such as the behavioral report, the person report, and the development chart, and that the manager and the new hire discuss their behavioural drives and needs during their first 1-on-1 meeting. It is also a great idea to talk about profiles in the team when a member joins, either by hosting a team session where everyone talks about their differences and similarities, or by including a bit about the new team member’s motivational drives and needs in a verbal or written introduction to the rest of the team. You can also encourage everyone on the team to display their Placard report next to their workstation or to include their Reference Profile in their email signature to create awareness of different work styles.

Adjust Your Onboarding Plan To The Individual

The PI Behavioral Assessment tells us that people have different drives and needs in the workplace, so why not use this information when you create the onboarding plan for your new colleague? Think about it; a new colleague with a high B would probably love to meet lots of new people and start networking straight away, while a low B might feel slightly overwhelmed if you introduce them to 20 new people on day one. In our brand new guide to onboarding employees with PI, we have outlined some advice for how to adjust your onboarding plan to your new colleague’s PI profile to give them the best onboarding experience. The guide can be downloaded free of charge in English or Danish.

PI Software Pro Tip: Create Report Kit

You can send multiple reports at once directly from PI Software using the Create Report Kit button shown on the Person Page. The report kit can be sent directly to the assessment taker, to you, and / or to other relevant people such as the hiring manager. You can include the Behavioral Report, the Placard, the Personal Development Chart, the Manager Development Chart, and the Management Strategy Guide in the kit which can be sent out in any of the 21 report languages. This kit is great for sharing with new hires and their manager on the first day.
