Imagine having a team so aligned, so committed, that they stick with you for DECADES. How do you make that happen? It all starts with team onboarding. When you do it right, your team onboarding system is what sets the foundation for high employee retention, productivity, and more freedom for you as the business owner. In this episode, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the exact steps we use at HerBusiness to onboard new hires. (And P.S. Those hires have stuck around for years – some of our team has been with us for decades!) Here’s what we’ll cover to improve your team onboarding: -> Why onboarding is a game-changer for business success, and how it directly impactions employee retention, engagement, and your bottom line profits. -> The types of teams and onboarding systems you need for your business, depending on if you’re a solopreneur, a micropreneur, or a full-scale entrepreneur. -> The key steps to an effective onboarding system: job posting and hiring, interviewing to find the right fit, setting clear contracts, making the first week matter, and how critical those first few months are. -> Avoiding common onboarding mistakes that so many business owners make – from overwhelming new hires with an information-download to throwing them in the deep end without a buoy. -> Handing challenges with onboarding goes wrong, and how you can turn it into a learning opportunity that will strengthen your system. Remember, onboarding is about so much more than having a smooth first week – it’s about creating a strong, long-lasting connection with the team that will support you for years.
