Onboarding

Onboarding is often confused with orientation, but onboarding new hires involves much more than a cursory introduction to the company. People First Productivity Solutions has created tools, techniques and training to help with all 11 essential elements to effective onboarding. With a comprehensive approach to onboarding, which requires only a minimal investment of time and planning, Recruiters and Hiring Managers will communicate that the new hire is valued as an important new member of the team. The law of reciprocity suggests that proactive onboarding will naturally result in new hires who work hard to prove themselves and contribute to the organization. Onboarding begins when the candidate accepts the job offer and continues until the first year of employment is successfully completed. Onboarding improves employee engagement and retention, improves the employer’s brand in the marketplace, and increases productivity.

One of the premiere onboarding tools offered by People First is the Launch training program for media sales reps. Launch equips new hire and veteran sales reps with fundamental selling skills, business acumen, marketing and advertising knowledge, plus product and process training. In addition to comprehensive training, Launch includes coaching tools and manager-facilitated follow-ups, step-by-step instructions for trainers, job aids, and more. Launch can be customized and localized for your sales team or you can enroll new hires in monthly webinars conducted by People First personnel. Launch is part one of the Expedition Selling Series.
