Module 6, Lesson 5: Onboarding Your New Hire

Finding the right here is just one step in the success of your new team member. The importance of effective onboarding and determining the right fit for your team is what the primary focus is of this lesson.

The key takeaways are:

1️⃣ Slow down the onboarding process: It's essential to take the time to properly onboard and train new hires, ensuring they have a solid foundation to excel in their role. Rushing the process may lead to misunderstandings and missed opportunities for growth.

2️⃣ Behavior matters: While it's crucial to assess skills and job fit, don't overlook behavior-related challenges. Keep an eye out for red flags such as excuse making, defensiveness, and blaming others. Address these issues early on and seek guidance when needed.

3️⃣ Invest in communication and accountability: A clear onboarding process and communication plan are key to fostering success in a new hire. Establishing expectations, providing necessary training, and regular check-ins with supervisors help ensure alignment and progress towards goals.
