Overview of Onboarding Consulting Services

The onboarding phase is much more than just checklists around compliance-based policies and paperwork.  Though these are important, it is the ability to quickly help a new colleague get up to speed and productive that matters most. 

Achilles works with your leaders to choreograph the new employee’s first day, first week, and first month interactions as a means to connect with and engage a new colleague.  This includes well-thought-out initial assignments and experiences that form a proactive path to engage new employees with the team, their role, and the business.

The process includes working to equip the hiring manager with the focus, tools, and techniques to prepare for a new employee. Additionally, we help the hiring manager shepherd the new colleague through the first sequence of orientation activities and developmental work assignments.

Benefits of a Thorough Onboarding Process

By having a thorough onboarding process, your benefits include:

  • Increased chances of employee retention
  • Improved quality of early learning
  • Enhanced work output from the new employee
  • Established comfort in giving and receiving feedback early on

Focus upon new employee preparation and priorities greatly increases the potential to retain the employee and even more so enhances their actual early-cycle learning and work output.  When they quickly understand and accept what is expected and produce actual work of value, they gain confidence as a contributor and see themselves as a part of the team.
