The reality is most companies do a really weak job onboarding a new employee. Too many organizations put little thought into this even though they are potentially impacting the motivational environment of their organization.
A client does a really great job of onboarding. No matter the position being hired, drivers, warehouse people or even executives, everybody goes through the same first five days of work.
The first day is spent riding with an outside sales rep to see what selling is all about. On the second day they sit with an inside salesperson to see the support and customer service being offered. The third day is spent riding with a driver to see the importance delivery people have to the uniqueness and value of your business.
The fourth day is spent in the warehouse to understand how orders are processed and the importance of accurately picking orders. The fifth and final day is spent with the administrative staff to understand why it’s so important customers pay on time and how it affects your profits.
The best way to build a solid team is to make sure your new-hire respects and understands everybody’s job, not just the position they’re being hired.
