From New Hire to Top Performer

Finding talent can be challenging. You might discover an absolute gem ??, only to find them struggling to "hit the ground running" ??♀?. Often, this isn't due to their capabilities but because of inadequate onboarding and support. Has your new hire been properly introduced to their role and its objectives, and have they received adequate training? Moreover, are you regularly meeting with them to provide guidance and feedback? Without this foundation, they may feel like they're navigating in the dark ??.

Here are essential strategies to ensure success with your new hires:

• Onboarding Plan: Have a structured onboarding plan in place from day one.
• Clear Objectives: Provide a checklist or list of objectives to clarify expectations.
• Frequent Check-Ins: Schedule regular check-ins to provide guidance and feedback.
• Setting Expectations: Clearly communicate expectations and lead by example.
• Track: Document and measure so there is data to review.
• Regular Meetings: Schedule weekly meetings to discuss progress and address concerns.
• Mentorship: Assign a mentor if you can't personally provide training.
• Accessibility: Be present in the office to facilitate learning from your experience.
• Realistic Expectations: Set achievable goals to avoid undue pressure.

Remember, no matter how talented someone is, they need time to understand your processes and preferences. Investing time upfront in onboarding pays off in higher retention and satisfaction rates. It's a win-win for everyone involved! ??

People aren't buttons; you can't push one and expect it to work perfectly. Take the time to nurture your team members, and you'll see the benefits in their performance and commitment. ????
