More so in this new start up age where every company is hiring hundreds at the base level and then immediately putting them to work to get business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Over and over again, I have seen the need of a good hand holding in the new age companies (even the relatively established ones with MT programs etc) for the multiple new joinees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Here is what I think all stakeholders gain from a structured and well thought out induction and training program for new joinees right from the beginning. And here is what should be kept in mind:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Organisation:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The fresh talent coming in is the best source of energy, creativity, challenging the set benchmark and raw passion. So it\u2019s critical to take care of them till they exactly know what to do in order to be successful.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Since they are mostly sales\/marketing personnel meeting the customers on the field, the brand image of the company is largely dependent on how these people represent themselves. Thus proper induction and training becomes even more critical.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The raw energy and passion that they carry can easily be misused for spreading bad word of mouth about the company if they aren\u2019t taken care of. And moreover most of them are young and going to work in their first \/ second jobs. Thus transition from an informal college life to a professional worklife is sensitive. These professional babies therefore have to be shown the right values.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Important to keep the \u201cWhy\u201d very clear for these joinees. Why this job? Why this product? Why this price? Why this USP? Why this hierarchy? Why this incentive? And why this company? The new joinees are now more interested in knowing the \u201cWhy\u201d than the \u201cWhat\u201d and \u201cHow\u201d and organisations that fail to tell them \u201cWhy\u201d fail to keep them engaged.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>New joinees:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"fff31b069dab2d4baa9938924ee8e97c\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n    style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n    data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n    data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n    data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8586106947150931\"\r\n    data-ad-slot=\"5455236699\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n    (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Be patient. The habit of instant gratification taken from addiction to social websites and fast paced lifestyles don\u2019t work in a job set up. You need to give time to everything to start succeeding. At least a year normally in jobs to start getting recognised.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Invest time in developing relationships with peers, managers and team members. Do not take anyone for granted. Your time invested will help you succeed later.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Be extremely curious to learn but don\u2019t go overboard in asking questions that might be repetitive in nature. Your image in the company in the beginning is dependent on the questions you ask, the emails you write, the initiatives you take, the discipline you show and sometimes the professional clothes (dependent on the company culture) you wear.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Lay your hands on all sorts of reading material (paper, Audio, video) that will give you a better understanding of the company. Knowledge absorption is maximum during this period.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Ignore the shortcoming of the organisation and the manager and just look the benefits. It\u2019s very easy to become a part of a \u201ccribbing\u201d group who are just highlighting the things that didn\u2019t happen as compared to so many things that have happened. Be positive and avoid bad company.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Line Managers:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">If anyone can ever change your performance chart in the organisation, it is the new joinees. And it works both ways. Because these are like \u201cprofessional new born babies\u201d. They will learn whatever culture, numbers, habits, achievements that you preach in your words and in your body language.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Spend time daily (at least an hour) with the new joinees for the first one month. Time investment now will give rich dividends later.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Tell them stories about how good inputs lead to good outputs and how great inputs (like leads for sales, resumes for HR, processes for finance) is always the raw material for great output (like revenues for sales, proactive hiring for HR, zero outstanding for finance)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Don\u2019t pull out the \u201cworst you\u201d in the first month. New born babies have to be taken care of and allowed to grow within the given boundaries (policies). Encourage them and allow them to make mistakes so that they learn.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Keep giving constructive documented feedback. Things will change if they are aware and they look up to you. They will look up to you if you have done personal value addition to their lives and learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Don\u2019t preach anything that you yourself don\u2019t follow.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The path to become a successful company is very heavily dependent on how we treat every new person in the company and sooner we understand that, sooner the results follow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>DISCLAIMER:<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>THE VIEWS AND OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THIS ARTICLE ARE THOSE OF THE AUTHOR AND DO NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS OF SPEAKIN, ITS MANAGEMENT OR AFFILIATES.
