Cornerstone Onboarding New Employees

Enable and Connect New Hires for Faster Time-to-Competency

 

Benefits: Reduce new hire time-to-productivity, shrink new hire processing time, drive down administration costs

The most effective follow-through to a good hiring process is an equally strong onboarding program. Effective, strategic new hire onboarding goes far beyond simple orientation to reduce inefficiencies and forge lasting relationships with your new hires.

 

Use Cornerstone Onboarding to set new employees on career and development paths within your company and connect them to expertise that they will need to succeed in their new roles. Across your organization, the benefits of accelerating time-to-performance and driving engagement for new employees will go straight to the bottom line. After all, good onboarding costs only a fraction of high turnover and constant recruiting.

Good onboarding programs are still the exception – not the rule – at most companies.The process of acclimating to a new job or new company is one of the most significant, yet unstudied factors in a new employee’s future success.

 

Whether your organization hires a handful or hundreds of people each year, the costs associated with inadequate onboarding programs are high – including the cost of rehiring people who don’t find a fit in their first few months or the ongoing costs of low productivity for employees who are not properly trained and enabled.

 

With the Cornerstone Onboarding new employees program you can:

  • Automate routing of information and reduce paper handling
  • Pre-populate forms with relevant new hire information
  • Automate assignment of new hire curricula
  • Place employees on forward-looking development plans
  • Effectively communicate expectations and goals
  • Track your employees in the onboarding process

  • Link everyday employee activity with organizational and departmental goals to give new hires a clear understanding of roles and context

 

Social Community

Industry analyst Aberdeen has found that socialization is too often the missing piece of employee onboarding. That is, the ability to connect new hires with the people and networks that they will need to take advantage of to be successful.

  • Moderate new hire or business unit social communities
  • Build out interactive information regarding company culture, history, and values
