Speed Onboarding and Improve Employee Retention
You go to all the work and expense to hire new employees--advertising, reference checks, piles of paperwork. Your newbies spend days or weeks in the classroom getting trained. Supervisors spend more time bringing them up to speed.
And then they leave and you have to start all over. Or they make so many bone-headed mistakes you wish they would leave.
Sound familiar?
At the Maverick Institute we can help you get new hires onboard and up-to-speed in ways that will significantly reduce attrition and mistakes. They’ll spend less time in the classroom and more time doing work.
How do we do it? By retooling traditional, classroom-oriented, onboarding programs with methods and technologies that align with how people naturally like to learn.
- OnBoard Yourself — A self-paced, elearning program that helps your new hires and interns get themselves up to speed and productive quickly.
- Peer Mentoring — A practical tools-based approach to one-on-one knowledge transfer, giving your seasoned employees a straightforward way to share what they know and deliver effective on-the-job training.*
- Social Networking Technologies — Customized versions of familiar social networking technologies (similar to Facebook, Ning, blogging and Twitter) create powerful ways for your employees to share expertise and information, especially for Gen Ys and Millennials.
- E-Learning and Wiki-type programs — These new technologies allow new employees to pull the information they need, rather than making them try to integrate what you push into them before it's truly relevant.
- Handbooks, Workbooks and Job Aids — These entertaining and instructive printed materials encourage new employees and interns to learn what they need to know and give them a clear set of activities and exercises to complete.
Whether you're ready to ride or not sure if these new approaches will work for you, we'd like to hear what's on your mind. Email us or call Todd Hudson at 303.819.6662.
