Don’t Let Your Newly Hired Staff Sink or Swim
Are you looking to hire new employees but don’t know where to start?
It’s a valid concern for any business owner or manager.
After all, you want to ensure that your new hires are successful and that they have the tools and resources they need.
But at the same time, you don’t want to be too overbearing and micromanage them.
So, what strategies can you use to ensure your newly hired staff don’t sink or swim?
In this 36th episode of The Process podcast, Preston and Travis explore the importance of creating an onboarding culture that encourages employee engagement and retention.
They also tackle the benefits of providing your newly hired staff with the guidance and support to set them up for success.
Onboarding sets the stage for success, so make sure your new hires get off on the right foot.
Onboarding New Employees
The first step is to create a clear onboarding process.
Make sure that your new hires understand their roles and responsibilities, as well as the company policies and procedures.

It is important to find the right people who will fit in with the company culture and have the skills and experience needed to help the company reach its goals.
The hiring process should include a thorough screening process, including background checks, interviews, and reference checks.
Once the right candidates have been identified, the company should provide a competitive compensation package, training, and support to ensure their success.
Onboarding new employees is critical for a number of reasons.
First, it helps new hires become familiar with their new environment and the company’s culture.
This helps them feel more comfortable and better prepared to take on their new role.
It also helps new hires learn the company’s policies and procedures quickly, so they can start contributing to the team right away.
Onboarding also helps new hires build relationships with their colleagues and supervisors.

Plus, it helps new hires feel like they are part of the team and that their contributions are valued.
The first 30 days of a new employee’s career are a critical period for both the employer and the employee.
During this time, the employer is looking to ensure that the new employee is settling in well, is meeting expectations and is a good fit for the team.
The new employee is also looking to make a good impression and learn as much as possible about the company, the role and the team.
During this time, the employer should ensure that the new employee is given the necessary resources and support to help them settle in and become productive as quickly as possible.
This may include providing a mentor, setting up regular check-ins with their manager, and providing access to training and development opportunities.
