The
21- Group Assimilation Program
While it is imperative to
select quality candidates with superior abilities and meaningful
experience, there is much that the organization can contribute
to the future success of their new hires. To accelerate the new
executive’s ability to rapidly assimilate into the organization
and confidently initiate actions contributing
to successful performance, 21- Group includes its On-Boarding Program as an integral
part of placing executives with its clients. Fit with the
corporate culture, comfort with executive management styles,
confidence in identifying early performance priorities, and
clarity on the “who” and “how” of getting things done all
contribute to a successful start.
In 2003
the Recruiting Roundtable studied over 28,000 new hires
to determine the most important parts of the recruiting,
decision-making and organizational entry process. For the 7%
judged to be “A-Players” in their early performance reviews,
three of the five most important influences were supportive
aspects of the on-boarding experience. The on-boarding
experience has an important influence on retention as well.
Other 21- Group Services:
·
You may want to go
beyond providing a supportive on-boarding program for your 21-
Group hire, and audit your current hiring
practices to improve staffing success across the board.
·
A culture analysis
can help you target the corporate profile most appropriate for
your business goals. It can enhance the significance of your
executive hires when you can bring in talent compatible with
where you want to be rather than where you are now.
·
Achieve two goals by
building executive development around succession
planning.
·
Use survey data
to influence managers’ performance objectives at the group,
department or divisional level.
·
If training is
too expensive and is taking too long to change employee
behaviors, learn some effective and cost-effective alternatives
which encourage employees to develop through enriching job
experiences and coaching.
