Ever hired someone who left before they learned how to work the coffee machine? Yeah, me too. You spend months—and a truckload of money—finding the right person, only to see them leave in a flash. It’s frustrating, but should you really blame them? Research shows that 37% of new hires leave within the first year. Did you know that almost half blame poor onboarding? So, you did not make a mistake hiring them. You made a mistake onboarding them. Most onboarding processes are an afterthought: A few forms, An office tour, A “welcome” email. Then this happens: You’re losing talent faster than you can hire them. People stick around when they feel welcomed and supported and know precisely what’s expected. Onboarding shouldn’t feel like information overload or a maze with no map. Implementing these 5 moves is neither difficult nor expensive: ✅ 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆. No one wants to be in a job where they don’t know what “good” looks like. ✅ 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗱𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺. Buddy is your new hire’s go-to person for the day-to-day stuff. ✅ 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. Bombarding someone on day one? That’s a sure way to lose them. ✅ 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻𝘀. Don’t wait three months to see if they’re sinking or swimming. ✅ 𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸. Early. Often. And make sure it’s acted on. Don't treat onboarding as a bunch of paperwork. Consider it the difference between keeping someone or watching them walk out the door. I’m exploring these five strategies in more detail in tomorrow’s blog post. Get ready to rethink how you treat new talent entering your business. Let’s make sure your new hires don’t leave before they even find the kitchen. What’s one onboarding mistake you wish you’d fixed sooner?

LEVEL UP your company BY POWERING UP your team WITH 1. STANDARDIZED PROCESSES This is not only writing done a process, But ensuring the process is the most efficient by streamlining it with automation. Having a standard way of doing a process saves time for the employees doing the tasks. It also empowers your employees to take on new tasks because new tasks are easy to learn and implement. 2. BETTER Employee Training and Cross-Training FOR ALL ROLES With better training and cross-training a company can save time in the onboarding process. Employees that have been at the company longer can take needed time-off because other employees are trained on their duties with cross-training. 3. Having a CULTURE of CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT This is creating a positive work environment where EMPLOYEE FEEDBACK is valued and implemented. Employees know more ways to save time in your company than you know. By having a CULTURE or CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT ✅️ Employee Morale will increase. ✅️ Productivity will improve. ✅️ Profit Loss will decrease due to better process efficiency. You can't SAVE MONEY before you SAVE TIME In a LARGE COMPANY Because it's not SUSTAINABLE. If you LAYOFF EMPLOYEES to SAVE MONEY, Then you are... ❌ OVERBURDENING the employees still there with MORE WORK. ❌ Creating a TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT which will create more TURNOVER because employees DON'T FEEL VALUED ❌ Developing BAD EMPLOYEE MORALE which DECREASES PRODUCTIVITY because employees are thinking about when their job will be on the CHOPPING BLOCK. ❌ Losing the EMPLOYEES' TRUST which leads to QUIET QUITTING. Why would they work at their fullest potential if you will just fire them anyway? Your LARGE COMPANY will continue to LOSE MONEY from doing LARGE LAYOFFS because you haven't found the real ROOT CAUSE of PROFIT LOSS. It's not just because of DECREASED SALES. IT'S because you aren't LISTENING to your EMPLOYEES. 👋 Hi I'm Jene', (Business Process Management Consultant) 😁 I help MID to LARGE sized companies use EMPLOYEE FEEDBACK to make HUGE PROFITS FASTER by REDUCING their PRODUCTIVITY COSTS by 20%. 😃 I also help small business owners to save time and make a 5-figure increase in profits in 60 days by using Strategic Planning with S.M.A.R.T goals. ✅️ For the most up-to-date #strategy and #innovation in #operations Follow my own hashtag #powerprocessprofits on LinkedIn 🎆 Start-ups----Check out my FEATURED section for FREEBIES

There are two reasons why a hire doesn't work out. 1. There is a disconnect- sometimes people are struggling with personal issues or are truly a poor fit/don't match the company culture. 2. Their work isn't structured correctly- Perhaps they have had too much work dumped on them at once, the expectations weren't clear, maybe they weren't trained well enough. Setting clear expectations, laying out priorities, having documented SOPs and tutorials helps set your team up for success. The better we structure the work for our employees the better they achieve. When they have a clear understanding they can essentially manage themselves; freeing up time so that we can stay in our zone of genius. Reach out if you'd like help putting these systems and templates in place so that you can run your business like a CEO. #growyourbusiness #businessoptimization #businesstips

The Wall Street Journal, Do You Have What It Takes to Be a ‘Personality Hire’? Productivity comes second for charming employees who make workplaces more fun. "If you get further on charm than skill and carry a workload light enough to float atop your bubbly demeanor, then you might be a “personality hire.” Charismatic employees lay the foundations of positive corporate cultures—or leave teammates to pick up the slack." "While some people proudly advertise themselves as personality hires on LinkedIn, others roll their eyes." “It’s annoying,” says Lauren Gomes Atwood, a project manager in upstate New York. “They always have time to hang out in the hallway, but when do they sit down and work?” From article: Red flag or badge of honor Personality hires are a growing presence in tech, as efficiency-minded companies seek engineers who can also make time with customers, says Lorde Astor West, founder of RadHash, which makes back-end software for startups. But people who excel at gabbing about technology products usually aren’t the best coders, in her experience. Others wear the personality-hire label proudly. They say keeping their energy up takes effort and makes people around them better. By Callum Borchers #management #technology #Career #thefutureofwork #innovation https://lnkd.in/eiNUes3j

Is this you? My client had a to-do list the size of a mountain and struggled to keep on top of all the day-to-day must-do things that needed to happen in their business. This left them frustrated and feeling like they were not achieving their potential. They thought the only way to solve this problem was to hire a new employee. We prioritised and tackled their must-dos first, then turned the nice-to-dos into reality, and now we’re simply keeping things smooth and stress-free. We worked together to create clear targets for the must-do tasks, and made our way through all the nice-to-dos too, which means they are now in a position where they are no longer playing catch-up. So you see, you don’t necessarily need an extra employee and commit to all the overheads involved. So whether you need a boost of support to get yourself back on track, or you’d love to chat about ongoing support in your business, reach out to find out how I can support you. Here’s to progress and staying on top of it all! #ProductivityPartner #TaskTamer #OnTopOfIt
