How To Create A Lasting Onboarding Experience For Your New Hires ?

 

Traditional onboarding is often a stereotyped experience for majority of new hires because it is focused on extremely dry and monotonous processes, like filling a lot of forms, attending company induction, going through heap of new rules and regulations, etc. Almost every organization follows a similar process forcing new employees to experience ‘not so good’ first few days.

Surveys reveal that organizations who don’t concentrate or put efforts in making this process better, are more likely to face lower retention rates and significantly declined employee motivation and satisfaction.

Follow these simple yet effective measures to make the process a long-lasting memory for your new hires.

Don’t leave everything for the joining day

Make sure that all the necessary paperwork (which doesn’t include employee’s presence) is completed before the employee’s joining date. In this way, his/her first few days won’t be occupied in just filling out forms. Welcome your new employee with a welcome kit having all information regarding his/her role, company policies, common rules and regulations, etc. Also make sure that the team he/she is joining already recognizes the new hire by his/her name. This will give them a sense of friendliness and will help them in gelling with the team more easily.

Embrace technology to collect & reuse new employee information

No one likes to complete same forms again and again or provide the same information over and over again in different forms. Same goes with your employees; they too feel irritated when you give them a bunch of forms to fill and every form starts with, Name, Address, etc. Leveraging the power of technology and using online forms requiring candidates to fill information only once as well as automated workflows will help you remove the hassles and headaches caused during the on-boarding process. It will help employers / HR managers pull out some general information about the new employee and spare them the horror of filling never-ending forms right on their first day of joining.

Assign a mentor for work-related help and a colleague to guide them around

When a new employee joins an organization, he/she is not in any way different than a school child on his/her first day at a new school. Everything needs to be figured out, like where’s the classroom or the cafeteria, etc. Your new hire is also in the same confused state. Thus, assign one of his teammates to show him around and get introduced to every concerned person. Also, make sure you have a mentor assigned for him to help him get introduced to his work and how things are getting done at his new workplace.

Use gamification to make his/her first few days full of fun

Several organizations have started opting for gamification strategy to make their new hires comfortable as soon as they can. This includes several games that are played in the organization or within the team so that new employee can easily bond with the company culture and his/her colleagues. This is a far better way to have your new employees get comfortable, than providing them with monotonous presentations, lectures, reading materials, etc.

Taken as a whole, these simple tips will help your new hires connect with the organization’s culture more quickly and easily. Moreover, they will have a lasting experience with extensive satisfaction and motivation to work for the organization in a much better way.

Stop Day-Dreaming For Having A Better Work-Life BALANCE, It Will Never Happen!!

The rise of the digital age has taken us into the online world 24*7. Now, we are “right here” everytime everywhere! People do talk about mortifying work-life balance, but that is true.

Some companies however boast of giving their employees proper opportunities to maintain the balance, but that is a myth. With everyone being accessible all times, the balance does not exist!

But this is nothing to mourn on!..Infact, this is that fact which is better when realized early. You can never cut yourself out from your professional life when you are with your family, and vice-versa is equally true! Even in important family get together or your holidays, you sneak peek into your official accounts to ensure you don’t miss out on any business-critical communication.

If you don’t feel guilty on checking your personal phone messages or mails during office-time, then what’s wrong checking your official accounts while you are spending time with your family?? 

Here, what everyone needs to understand is we need to have that balance in “mind” and not physically!!.The underlying principle is to prioritize the tasks and follow accordingly instead of juggling between the two. Sometimes, you can help your child in his assignment while you are in office or travelling, and similarly, you can solve some complex office issue while you are on a vacation. All you need is to extract those 10-15 minutes time from both set-ups.

TeamWise HRMS also allows you to manage your accounts from office or from remote locations with an ease of access to information. Thus, it’s time to stop worrying and waiting for that balance and start working on it to bring better output personally as well as professionally!! 

Lord Shiva Personifying the “Ideal” Entrepreneur!!

Whenever an organization witnesses the ups and downs in its business cycle, it reminds me of our mythological ethos and management practices that never fail out and there is always that Plan “X” that works in any situation as a trump card!

Lord Shiva, most powerful denominations in our Hindu mythology is one of the three primary God figures or ‘Trimurthis’.  From a business perspective, he personifies a challenge-ridden and value-driven entrepreneur. 

Like one of his fearsome form, “Rudra”, every entrepreneur must have that determination in him to withstand any situation fearlessly and courageously like Lord Shiva. 

Similarly, when it comes to managing employees or establishing healthy employee relationships, the HR departments must take his “Shipra Kobi” and “Shipra Prasadi” forms that entail immense love and respect for employees.

When it comes to managing your employees, you must have a balance between employee relations and business progression. Being nice to employees doesn’t mean that you need to accommodate the unproductive ones just to maintain healthy relationship. You can any time fire the one who is no good for your business and should keep the best ones for your endeavors. 

TeamWise helps you take all Lord Shiva forms from a “destroyer” to a “business propeller” to a “determinant HR”.  At every phase of your business, you need to be aware of all your employees and their contribution in your business ventures. With the HR Software, you can get all the detailed information that help you take the courageous and success-driven decisions.

Scale-up your expertise as an efficient Entrepreneur and become the favorite "Boss" Using the Management and Entrepreneurial skills of Lord Shiva on this special occasion of “Maha Shivratri”!!

Change Your Recruitment Strategy- Go for the Winning Athlete!

Being a recruiter, you get to meet a considerably large variety of professionals engaged in job search. Some are Frustrated with their current JOBS, some may have been kicked out and many of them may be top performers, but have become victim of volatile economy. 

As the Hiring Manager, your job is to find out that talented candidate who not only possesses the drive and determination required to fulfill requirements of dynamic business environments, but can also withstand toughest of business situations and who is ready to walk that extra mile.

Thus, what today’s businesses need is such a smart Recruitment Management System that can found those JOB Seekers who have the passion to excel in their respective fields. So, when you sit for interviewing next candidate, search out the ones who have passion with work wisdom and can shine out as the winning athlete, not only those who have years of experience with some big companies and who demand bundles of money.

Do You Ever Think How Your HR Team Executes Recruitment Process?

Being an employer or a company with more than 100 employees, do you find it easy to track the new recruitment or how even a resource request is generated?

Not many companies focus towards this aspect which, perhaps, is one of the most deciding factors for any organization’s future. As an employer, you need to be assured of the quality that you are bringing in and would the resource be profitable enough to compensate for the investments that had been made in executing the entire process. 

Usually, the actual outcome of an effective recruitment is seen once the candidate is recruited and starts giving results after a set time period. The turnover figures are directly or indirectly linked to these hiring that further decide whether the respective person will stay or not with the organization.

Thus, an organization requires such robust recruitment management software that can efficiently manage the entire hiring process right from generation of a resource request, to the execution of final recruitment formalities. Additionally, it needs an integrated performance evaluation system that may coherently monitor the new joinee’s performance. 

TeamWise Recruitment Management System can efficiently provide a solution to this as the tool is specially developed keeping in view the respective concern. It can robustly manage the resource request flow, generate job openings, manage resumes, schedule hiring process, and complete new entrant formalities, etc. Thus, it can ease out HR tasks to a great extent while maintaining the quality of the job done.

How Efficient Is Your Employee Information System?

Not long ago, I came across a business owner, now a prestigious client, who shared an incident with us. 

He told us, that last year they had an annual conference when their overseas clients were going to visit their Head office in India. Along with the conference, the delegates also wanted to propose some new venture with them and for that they required the complete employee database of their company. 

To provide the same, the human resources team was asked to deliver the complete set of information in a week’s time that required a complete study of company’s records. The information included record of all current and terminated employees for the last 3 years, copies of their salary reports, potential employees’ performance sheets, etc. 

Luckily, the HR teams of our client, had completed their documenting work just a few weeks ago, and so they were able to deliver the required reports and information in time. Their foreign delegates were also happy with the records and gave them some big business. But, in case, if they would have failed to deliver the records in time, that would have left a negative impact and they must have missed out on the business opportunity. 

Just after the incident, the client started searching for an efficient Employee Information System that can automatically maintain individual employee records including their performance sheets, attendance sheets, their salary remunerations, investment details, etc. This is when, he came across TeamWise that qualified in all his concerns and offered him exactly what he wanted. 

To sum up, to run your business effectively and grab more business opportunities, a business needs to manage its most important asset, i.e. employees in the right way through a robust employee information solution.
