When we hire new staff, we know that it can take up to six months before we see their real productivity come to the fore as they learn new systems, processes, team mates, let alone customers and suppliers. By which time, the probation period has expired and the costs to remove them if they are not “cutting it” are much higher.
This old film from the US auto industry makes some excellent points about how to set new employees up for success. It talks to Organisation Leadership, Optimising Team Performance, Inducting and Training and, Mentoring and Developing Staff.
