Employee Onboarding: The missing link in your business strategy

1. Employee Onboarding: The missing link in your business strategy Make Onboarding process experiential: Understand, accept and integrate the multi- sidedness The Japanese say you have three faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show your close friends and your family. The third face, you never show anyone. It is the truest reflection of who you are. In essence, your employee onboarding process becomes truly experiential when you integrate the three Japanese faces together—both on the employee side as well as the employer side. Just like that for an individual, the organization has its three faces too; they’ve to deal with investors, clients and internal human resources differently. Business is characterized by risk taking, and the market is more often than not volatile. A big part of both the equations is transition. Those who master this— whichever way they do it, either by developing outwardly robust strategies, or through the inherent familial traits of integration as cultivated by the Japanese—will eventually laugh their way to the bank. The catch is, no transition is smooth. You can control the ripple but you can not stop the ripple from happening in the first place. Change is permanent, but every change brings with it a temporary turbulence.

2. This is where handling a transition is an art. While the journey from school to college was a departure from juvenile adolescence, workplace is a serious transition to professionalism. In case of lateral employees, it’s even more difficult—they don’t even have the luxury of uninformed optimism, they are coming with informed pessimism. Your employee onboarding process should be as seamless and smooth as possible to handle the transition at both ends. Effective onboarding is the extent to which you are able to integrate a new joinee into your culture. Source : https://www.disprz.com/blog/employee-onboarding-process/
