Onboarding - an effective way to get your current and future management staff engaged, productive and successful.

 

Onboarding - by design is very different from an employee orientation. 

 

Onboarding - a comprehensive, proactive and extended support process to help newly placed or future leaders (whether recruited or promoted) transition and integrate into their new roles and organizations.

Accelerate the Impact of Leaders… at All Levels

Whether the transition is an internal promotion, a leader joining a new organization or a future leader with high potential, the Onboarding process provides a much-needed road map.  Intensive support allows the individual to quickly and efficiently accelerate their impact.

 

Onboarding University is available to meet the needs of employees and managers at earlier stages of their career.  Onboarding University is appropriate for managers up through the Vice President level and has the same goals as the senior executive Onboarding process:

·         Accelerate the transition and integration of newly placed leaders, and

·         Provide a unique leadership development opportunity

 

One-on-One Professional Coaching on a personal level is also available through OnBalance to ensure your employees continued success.

 

 

Why Onboarding: A Proven, Results-Driven Approach

·         Accelerate organizational learning

·         Build and leverage relationships

A High-Tech/High-Touch Solution

Onboarding is a comprehensive process that provides guides, tools, resources, and advice and counsel to newly placed or future leaders. Although every leadership transition differs in its details, all leadership transitions have many things in common – imperatives, obstacles, missteps, and pitfalls. The Onboarding process helps focus on the must-do actions, while anticipating and managing the predictable challenges. For emerging leaders, it is delivered online as Onboarding University.

 

Widespread Value

While the obvious focus of Onboarding is the newly placed leader, many other individuals are often affected by this transition. The new leader's boss, direct reports, peers, and others are all experiencing stresses and challenges related to the transition. The Onboarding process has built-in approaches to help all the other individuals deal with Onboarding-related issues.

 

Process Partners

One of the process approaches to achieve widespread value is the building of a strong internal support structure, starting with a focused commitment from the boss. In addition, an Advisor often plays a key support role. Along with the Onboarding consultant these process partners provide ongoing support and carry out specific Onboarding actions for the new leader and the individuals in his/her impact network.
