    Kathy, This was a really good article, gave me new perspective on employee referrals. I periodically monitor the job board here at my company for myself and a few of my business contacts outside of the company. I need to suggest to my contacts that we become more aware of all our skill sets to help ensure a better fit when looking for employment.

The Onboarding Experience Matters To Your Future Employees - 2 views

  •  
    You only get one chance to onboard a person so make it the best you got!
  •  
    First impressions last a lifetime.
  •  
    People remember all of their "first" experiences, so it is surprising that so many companies do not focus on an employees "first" with them. This may leave an impression that causes an employee not to reach their "first" anniversary with the company.

Disney College Program - Florida Onboarding Home | Jobs and Careers - 3 views

  •  
    I am a Disney fan but now knowing a person who works there and seeing their on boarding process (via this website) it is no wonder that they are such a huge and successful company.   The website goes through, what looks like, everything a person would need to know in getting started at Disney.   I could see how helpful a website such as this would be to almost any profession.  Disney obviously has enough money to produce this website and keep it current, but I do not think that would be too hard or expensive for a school district, police agency, banking industry, military, or many other professions to implement.

    I did my undergraduate at the U of WI Stout and they had a huge partnership with Disney and doing internships. I heard some really great stuff from friends that did their internship there and had positive things to say about the onboarding.
  •  
    I really like the idea of a website once you are hired. I would be a great resource for so many things and even though labor intensive to get up an running should be easily maintained. Wouldn't need to be as elaborate as Disney just so the information is accurate. Thanks for the article
  •  
    My niece just completed an intership this summer with Disney. She was pleasantly surprised by how comprehensive the website and training was for interns. Eventhough she was scheduled to intern for six months, everything about the training and experience won her over to want to be a lifetime employee of Disney. Many companies could learn from this model.
  •  
    I heard that the first two days of employee orientation is strictly story telling. They use the 'cast' members to acclimate employees to the Disney culture using stories. I feel like this is really in sync with Disney culture and would also be a very effective way to get employee excited about their role in the bigger Disney 'story'.

Tips From Mackenzie Jones Middle East For Yearly Appraisals - City Business - 0 views

  •  
    Not sure about who MacKenzie Jones is but one thing that was written was interesting regarding your performance being tired to the person you work for. Not sure I agree but I think a good boss can help make employees better or vise versa. It is up to the employee to not fall into any temptations of "behaving badly" when their boss may act badly or poorly on a regular basis.

    Wow 7 C's….my article only at 4….this has some great "additional" information.
  •  
    Good article, nice to see the 7 C's and an observation point from a leadership level owning up to be a contributing factor for new employee success rate.
  •  
    There it is again with that compatible non-sense. That is why organizations get jammed up in lawsuits, and lose huge sums of money. Its a whole new generation of employers thinking that they should hire based on "Cultural matches" which are made up in the first place. That is a preference, and it cannot be articulated on the bench in front of a jury of 12. If you can't defend it, then don't make it a core competency or requirement. Make it a subfield, or a preference.

Learn the game - 3 views

  •  
    The use of multiple forms of gaming, can produce excellent talent, and improve worklife.
  •  
    Bob, My organization uses gaming to engage the public to help them understand financial concepts that many find too complex or difficult to understand. We also recently implemented gaming as part of our on-boarding process to educate and engage new employees to learn more about the functions and responsibilities of the organization. The public has embraced the concept of gaming, while its use as an on-boarding tool is receiving mixed reviews. The younger generations loves it, while many of the long-term employees don't see the value and feel it is a waste of people's time and the organization's money. It will be interesting to see if gaming is a fad or not.

    My company outsourced to well being company to help employees become more engaged in lifestyle choices. Never dawned on me that the challenges or gamification was being done. I'll be forwarding this article on to others outside our group, very interesting read and informative.

    Good article to remind one what to look for in employees and self. One of the aspects of the behavioral interview for leadership in my organization focuses on servant leadership questions. It is hard to leaders others when "what's in it for me" is the primary focus.
  •  
    Hi Jen, I love this article! Though it's the hard truth that many times we see people promoted over us that do not display this characteristics. However, when I think about the best leaders or the people I would pick to work with in a team, they definitely display these characteristics.

    Very interesting contrast on first day of a new employee

    I have seen both of these first days occur and it does make a huge difference in how a person feels about the new organization.

    It is funny because as absurd as the bad first day is portrayed it happens more than it should.

  •  
    Onboarding programs are the first experience many employees will have with an organization. Keep them interested and keep it simple.
