We help build more effective, tailored and individually-relevant onboarding programs!

OVERVIEW

 

The Onboarding Problem:  According to Fortune magazine, about 40 percent of executives who change roles or get promoted fail in the first 18 months. While a number of factors contribute to an leader’s performance and longevity in a role, strong onboarding programs can help improve the odds of success.

Despite organizations’ commitment to onboarding, a recent survey revealed that 70 percent of new senior leaders were disappointed by their onboarding experience and felt inadequately prepared for their new role.

“Employers of choice” are renowned for offering just-in-time, practical onboarding programs which help their newest leaders acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective in their new roles.

“Companies with strong onboarding programs see 2.5 times the profit growth and 1.9 times the profit margin than those that don’t.”
The Boston Consulting Group

 
The goal of onboarding is to prepare leaders to succeed in their job as quickly as possible. As a result of the onboarding process, they become more immediately engaged in their work, their teams more quickly buy into their leadership direction and the leader remains with the company for a longer period of time.

How We Partner – Executive & New Leader Onboarding

Our consultants partner with you to thoroughly connect the critical success factors of your onboarding strategy to the business priorities of your organization.

What differentiates our firm includes how we “do our homework” to create actionable, practical recommendations to increase the value and impact of your event.

Once you give your stamp of approval, we “plug and play” by not leaving you to do the day-to-day program management and execution work. Our team will take the lead to execute your plans – freeing your internal resources to focus on other priorities.

Our job is to make you look good! And when you look good, we look good!
