The First 90 Days: How to Set Up Every New Hire for Success

A thoughtful onboarding process is worth your investment of time and effort. Although you’re temporarily doing more work while also increasing your payroll, it’s ultimately a long-term gain. 

Get the essential ingredients with Coaches Caroline Plambeck and Matt Hanton in Episode 669: The First 90 Days: How to Set Up Every New Hire for Success.

  • Stoke anticipation: generate good vibes with a personal note or small gift before day 1
  • Lay the foundation: review job description, KPIs, goals, mission, vision and values
  • Cultivate connection: do meet & greets, assign a buddy and arrange teamwork
  • Facilitate integration: train on SOPs and systems; encourage proactivity 
  • Continue the conversation: check in often, ask for feedback and celebrate successes 

Beyond simply teaching policies and procedures, smart onboarding incorporates communication, community and the culture of your studio. Episode 669 is your recipe. 

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
