Every organisation carries an enormous hidden debt. People don’t talk about it, but they experience its adverse effects every day. This is called onboarding debt and it represents the difference between what people should understand and what they actually understand about the cultural expectations, technical expectations, and managers’ expectations that define how to succeed in their role. This onboarding debt manifests itself through lost profits, low retention, poor cultures and frustrated leaders. But it doesn’t need to be this way.
In this easy-to-read book for all managers, supervisors and entrepreneurs, Brad Giles outlines the simple step-by-step process that leaders worldwide use to significantly increase the effectiveness of both new hires and existing teams.
Equal part business fable and business handbook, as well as being backed by a global research study and years of implementation, Onboarded for Managers brings dramatically more confidence to leaders responsible for managing new hires.
Designed to complement the original book Onboarded, Onboarded for Managers offers key concepts in an easier-to-consume format.
After years of mistakes, poor productivity, and resignations, Alex knew that hiring Nick Chisholm was the right move to start turning things around in his team.
But only six months later, when Nick resigned, Alex found himself challenged to not only rebuild his team but also save his own job.
In my time in business, I’ve seen too many bosses like Alex lose promising employees like Nick.
Over time, this has disastrous effects in terms of wasted resources, reduced productivity, and unrealised business outcomes – not to mention the stress and anguish it creates for both employees and managers.
I wrote this book because I don’t want you to be like Nick’s boss Alex. Instead, I want to equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to make your new hires valuable, productive, and effective team members – fast.
Readers will discover:
- Why onboarding debt is the real cause of cultural issues in many firms
- How to calculate the cost of inadequate onboarding to your firm
- How to improve productivity, retention, profitability and culture using onboarding
- The two main tools to use for effective onboarding
Accessibly written and filled with examples and proven tools, Onboarded For Managers is the definitive guide on helping managers bring new hires to the point where they are effective, faster.
Onboarded for Managers, is an adjunct to my second book Onboarded.
Onboarded was not written for HR thought leaders to pontificate about the HR process in university lecture halls. It was written for busy business owners and leaders to make a business case that onboarding debt costs more than you ever imagined.
