Keeping Good Employees On Board

 1- Pre-onboarding(their first day)

Tell them what they should expect in the coming weeks with a timeline(maybe via email)

Contents of message:

- when they should expect their next email

- what they'll be expected to do

- when they'll get a schedule of how their first week gonna look like

2- Mistake: there is little communication with the manager

Talk to them twice a day for the first 2 weeks minimum.

Once in the morning for 30 mins and once in the afternoon for 30mins

(You help them answer their questions)

After 2 weeks you talk to them once a day for a couple of weeks,

then twice per week then once per week.

3- Mistake: not enough structure when onboarding

There should be an hour-by-hour agenda for the first two weeks.

This structure should facilitate their learning.

Tell them why they're gonna do what in the structure.

4- Mistake: No clear expectations

30, 60, 90-day goals

What are the most important things that you want them to accomplish within that amount of time?

A- If the job is low level you can do the plan

B- If the job is high level and you have no experience in it, you should do the plan and they revise it

5- Mistake: No feedback loop

You should give them feedback if they're doing something wrong or not aligned with how the team works or does this thing you should provide them with feedback and tell them to build trust.
