Research shows that the first 3 months are crucial for engaging and retaining new employees and a poor fit with the culture is one of the key factors in new hire failure. To get new people up to speed quickly with your culture and way of doing things will not only increase retention, but also productivity.
- Our programme is designed to get staff on board quickly, in a fun and scalable way.
- We help tailor everything to your needs and you can choose individual modules or the full programme.
- Our approach is to combine software with live meetings and fun games to maximise engagement.
- The programme can be run entirely by yourself after setup. If you want us to make your onboarding days outstanding, our staff are always happy to help out.
Starting from either signing of contract or day 1, new members of staff get access to the Welcome App. This web based app is designed to make the new recruits feel welcome, get their insights and start the training in a fun and easy going way.
To embed a deeper understanding of the company and the culture, we recommend getting new people together for an onboarding day. Typically this combines presentations by key staff with group workshops and the Onboarding Game.
After the introduction of new staff, it is time to go from words to action. The Onboarding Booster helps staff meet the right people and get to know the business by completing a number of missions, taking pictures and logging them in the app.
The outcome of the programme is better understanding of how your business works and what defines your culture. But also to really let staff put the right behaviours into action straight away.
Our methodology is to let small groups of new staff work together to understand their new company’s culture.
The programme is designed to provide an immersive experience consisting of a blend of interactive elements, like taking part in workshops and solving dilemmas but also to interact with other members of staff and have fun together.
In the end we want people to understand not just the What, but the Why. This will trigger the right attitude and behaviours, and give you the most valuable asset your company will ever have - future culture ambassadors.
We tailor everything to your needs and deliver both entire programmes or stand-alone modules. We offer full service events with our staff but also a platform for self-delivery, anywhere at any time.
The Onboarding Welcome App is sent to new people in the pre boarding phase or on day one. The aim is for staff to learn a bit about the company, get them thinking about the culture, and share what their experience has been so far.
We pose questions in a fun and simple way, while also creating buzz and excitement. By asking the right questions, you get a good understanding of their level of awareness and perceived challenges.
All the data that comes in can be accessed live on dashboards, to track how well the culture is embedded.
The app is run on smart phones or laptops, with no download required. Simply email a link to staff.
Do you bring new staff together for onboarding days? Do you want to take your participants from Passive Listeners to Active Contributors?
Our "Active Meetings" format combines group discussions, case studies, game boards and tablets to help your employees fully understand your business. By adding short, interactive break out sessions, you can pose vital questions and let the new staff discuss among themselves in small groups. This is called peer-2-peer learning and is especially powerful when people are new and not comfortable to ask questions in plenum.
All the data that comes in can be monitored on a live feed, allowing you to gauge straight away their level of understanding and pick up questions for further clarification.
The Onboarding Game is a fun and engaging way of introducing your company to new staff. Learn about the organization, answer questions, interact with colleagues, take pictures and compete with fun, informative quizzes. All designed to energize your newcomers, using proven gamification techniques.
The game is played in small teams, using a laptop or a tablet. Importantly, the game does not just inform about your business, it provokes important discussion in the team to drive peer-2-peer learning. As the game is digital, all the data that comes in can be tracked on live on dashboards.
The game can be tailored to suit your organisation and typically includes important topics like:
The game also lets new staff get to know each other and share recent insights while they are "fresh".
Onboarding Booster is a web app that lets new staff live the culture and put behaviours into action in a fun, competitive format. Although simple to use, we apply advanced gamification mechanisms and always customise entirely to your organisation. Perfect for onboarding and induction.
Encourage the right behaviours - How it works
First, we decide on a number of activities that speed up the learning rates and represent living the culture. The activities are listed in the app and whenever someone takes action they log that activity, take a picture and collect points. Typical activities are:
Visualisation for maximum engagement
The Onboarding Booster collects fun and symbolic images that can easily be displayed on LCD screens in the office, to encourage all staff to start living the values.
We have along experience of designing engaging onboarding solutions. Get in touch to find out how we can help you with your onboarding or induction. We'd be happy to arrange a demo, provide case studies or to setup a live meeting.
