What's Your Pain?
WOW! transformations' beyondboarding™ positions a company for growth with minimal growing pains
Some companies do a fairly good job with onboarding — the process of assimilating new employees into the organization with the tools, knowledge and information they need to be successful and productive from the start of employment. Others may be successful at preboarding — the assessment of what the company needs before a hire is made. But few create a company initiative that goes beyond the basics and truly embraces an employee from pre-hire to exit strategy.
That's where WOW! transformations beyondboarding™ comes in — it's a comprehensive approach that goes beyond preboarding and onboarding to establish a company culture that supports organizational growth and increased profits.
A group of business leaders recently gathered to explore the idea of beyondboarding™. The group, led by WOW! transformations' principal Nettie Nitzberg, included business owners, management consultants, human resource and organizational development practitioners, executive coaches, lawyers and marketing professionals.
"Most companies don't know what their solution is — they just have pain," said Stephanie Williams, president of ignite Marketing. "Beyondboarding™ is a value proposition to a company. It's a holistic view: What is the cost benefit of getting the right people in the right positions — and beyond that, how can they then grow into a leadership position and truly contribute to the company?"
Beyondboarding™ takes a strategic approach to three key areas: Developing the skills of an employee, creating a connection between the employee and the success of the company and positioning the organization for sustained growth. While most onboarding programs end within the first few months on the job, beyondboarding™ strategies continue through the employee's lifetime of service. Beyondboarding™'s holistic approach provides employees a sense of ownership and belonging that results in pride in their work and as a result, increased customer satisfaction and company growth. With beyondboarding™, a company can:
- Reduce employee turnover
- Benefit from engaged leadership
- Reach higher levels of employee satisfaction
- Sustain an environment focused on learning and development
- Attract a highly qualified talent pool
"It's all about making employment with your company the best experience it can be, both for the individual and for the organization," said Nitzberg. "Companies need something that goes beyond the first few months of employment. WOW! transformations' beyondboarding™ is the bridge that supports an employee throughout her lifetime of service at your company."
