52 Weeks of Plan, Do, Track - Week 38: Onboarding New Team Members

9/20/2019

Week 38 Focus – Onboarding New Team Members
Focus Question: What is important to communicate about your business?

Description
In bringing people onboard to your team it's really critical that you:

Are clear on what the task requirements are
Get specific with what the end result needs to look like
Provide check points to review and adjust the actions undertaken

Story
Onboarding New Team Members:

It’s likely that you may be bringing on new team members, and also doing this in a virtual setting. As you approach onboarding your new team members consider sharing:

What the business is about
Key business values – what’s important in every touchpoint (speed, accuracy, quality)
Philosophies of the business
High level priorities
How their work fits into the other sectors of the business
Expectations abut work, punctuality, output
Confidentiality and Ethics

On the work front you will also want to discuss:

Job requirements
Reporting
Information sharing, security and privacy
Feedback loops
What else?

Activity
This week make a list of all the things you want to cover in onboarding new team members. What materials are needed? What support?

Connection to the Workbook and Planner
Going back to your values and vision as a business, what is important to communicate? Many of the areas we explored – values, strengths, can be explored with others.
