The main points are that the critical "onboarding" relationship is the transformational partnership between a new employee and his or her boss, started by the boss doing three things:

1)    Getting a head start

2)    Leveraging a set of consistent messages

3)    Helping the new employee deliver

Get a Head start

“I would never let anyone start recruiting for any position until they had a complete Total Onboarding Plan for recruiting, hiring and accelerating their new employee’s progress that critical stakeholders were aligned behind.”

Leverage Messages

“People figure this stuff out, so pre-sell while recruiting to make sure the new job match is truly a win-win-win for all involved.  Follow through by partnering with the person being offered a job do a real, thorough due diligence.”

Help the New Employee Deliver

Co-create a Personal Onboarding Plan (the new employee’s plan)
