Optimize new hire training and accelerate performance.
Solution: New-hire training and onboarding
Get new hires up and running as fast as possible while understanding the levels of confidence and competence each new employee has from day one. Personalize the learning experience so that it is relevant and engaging, taking into account exactly what each new hire does or does not know to perform their role and rapidly become a productive team member. As new employees are ramping up, provide their instructors, trainers, and supervisors with real-time insights and dashboards to further boost new hire learning and job performance.
Common Onboarding Challenges
New-hire training is high stakes for everyone involved. Speed to competence is a top priority to maximize productivity while ensuring new employees deliver on your customer promise. Retaining new hires is important because employee turnover is expensive with costs to replace an employee ranging from one-half to two times annual salary. Employees themselves can feel overwhelmed and lack confidence when training moves at a one-size-fits-all pace. Most employees don’t feel their onboarding experience was great, hurting their engagement and commitment levels.
Lengthy Ramp-Up Times
Need to improve speed to competency and knowledge retention to make new hires productive sooner.
Not Knowing What They Know
Supervisors are often uncertain whether new employees have learned what they need to know to perform their new roles competently and with confidence.
Learning Not Measured or Tracked
Insufficient or non-existent learning data in realtime to measure learning or track progress makes it difficult for trainers or supervisors to know where to focus their energies to aid new employees to accelerate their performance.
Legacy Learning Model is Stale
Need to modernize the onboarding learning experience to be engaging and personalized for new employees across all the learning modalities.
One-Size-Fits-All Fits No One
The current approach to new hire onboarding is dissatisfying for all stakeholders proving to be inefficient, not consistently or effectively equipping each new employee with the knowledge and skills they need to perform their role expediently.
Poor Engagement
New employees feeling overwhelmed with the amount of knowledge they need to learn or frustrated by lack of feedback or new remote employees not getting grounded or connected with their co-workers can lead to poor engagement.
New Hire Training Essentials
Create a connection between your new employees and the organization with a personalized and engaging training and onboarding experience that includes:
Onboarding Journey Maps
Mapping the onboarding journey to guide employees on their path to early success and growth.
Personalized Experience
Providing a personalized onboarding experience that respects prior knowledge and speeds time to competency.
