New Hire Orientation with Managers and the Organization

"New recruits are leaving our organization at an alarming rate. Our exit interviews are identifying a need to improve our new hire orientation.”

Getting new employees familiar with the organization and their managers as quickly as possible can be an excellent retention strategy. The standard employee orientation program will not suffice in today’s market, especially with a discerning Y generation entering the workforce. New employees today are looking for a personalized experience that suits their learning style, natural communication style, and is tailor made for them.

"I already have a new hire orientation program. Are there any tools I can integrate into my program that will create the customized experience employees are looking for?”

At Thomas International we are specialist in assessing people at work. Our How to Manage Report and our trainability report, the Test for Selection and Training Report can be easily integrated into your current employee orientation program.

The How to Manage Report will provide managers with a blue print for managing the expectations and relationship with new employees during the employee orientation program. Using a short assessment managers are quickly able to understand how a new employee prefers to be managed in terms of:

Motivation
Communication
Directing
Supporting
Delegating
Disciplining
Developing

The information received in this report is invaluable and can accelerate a relationship between the new employee and their manager.

The Test for Selection and Training measures a new employees “fluid intelligence”, essentially their trainability or the speed at which they learn new ideas, concepts, and information. The valuable data in this report can be used by HR, trainers and mangers to ensure that employee orientation program experience is customized to the speed at which each new employee learns. This ultimately reduces the frustration for HR, trainers, and managers and provides a positive experience for new employees during training.

Both of these tools can be easily integrated into any employee orientation program, and the following benefits can be enjoyed:

Improvement in retention levels
Increased morale
Improved communication between managers and their employees
