How to bring new hires to the point
where they are effective, faster

Onboarded.

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 entrepreneurs, managers and HR professionals, 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. Backed by a global research study and years of implementation, Onboarded brings dramatically more confidence to leaders responsible for managing new hires.

You will learn:

  • The structural reasons that lead most companies to inadequate onboarding
  • How most companies complete onboarding just before the real impact begins
  • 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 easy to implement tools and examples, Onboarded is the definitive guide on how to ensure your new hires are effective, faster.

Worldwide Acclaim for Onboarded.

Brad Giles has made it impossible for every leader to ignore the huge pile of elephant poop in the living room – the fact is that almost all companies do a rotten job of onboarding new employees, and consequently new employees are more likely to underperform and quit. Brad outlines the extent of the problem, identifies what to do (and how and when), and presents a compelling roadmap for any leader to follow.”

“Effective onboarding new team members is the starting point of building a great organization. Yet most companies do a terrible job of it. Brad outlines the cultural and financial costs then delivers a thorough approach for getting it right and a plan for how to implement it in your organization. Your winning team starts here”.

“In an era where competition for skilled staff has never been fiercer and the expectations of staff on companies has never been higher, onboarding and retention strategies are more important now than ever. By implementing Brad Giles onboarding strategies outlined in this book our team retention for new starters within the first 12 months doubled which had a huge impact on the culture of Aventus and ultimately our financial results. This book is a must read for any leader or manager looking to create a high performance and winning culture.”
