Recently we had the opportunity to publish an opinion article on the DIRCOM blog, the association of Directores de Comunicación. Dircom has just launched a new blog, INNOVA+ C, with a play on words and two clear objectives: Comunicar la Innovación, e Innovar en Comunicación.
Following this objective, our article talks about how to innovate in communication since we discuss applying technology to improve communication in onboarding processes.
We leave you some paragraphs of the article, but we invite you to read it in this link.
“The onboarding consists of correctly carrying out the reception and first integration of a new employee in a company, both in their job position and in their specific tasks, their team and compliance requirements. This first phase of integration and first contact of the new member to the organization is one of the most important phases that human resources executes.”
“Normally, when a person joins a company, they need at least 15 days to know the internal processes: functioning of internal communication tools, human resources, getting to know their colleagues, where certain rooms are located, how to book them… In fact, the day a person joins a company, they are unaware of the methods and processes, the culture, they do not know the name of their internal clients and suppliers. It is difficult at that moment for them to develop their work well or what is expected of them, precisely because they need an adaptation process.”
“Onboarding does exactly what it says: accelerate the adaptation and integration process of that new person to the organization: it makes them more efficient in a shorter time. If this process does not exist, that integration phase of the person extends much longer throughout the adaptation period and can lead to what we mentioned at the beginning, that 40% do not pass the first 18 months. So onboarding helps maximize the positive and minimize the negative.”
