An Organized Structure for Your New Talents... and Your Internal Trainers? Why?

Onboarding is a crucial step in integrating a new employee into a company. To ensure a successful experience, it is essential to structure the time that employee trainers dedicate to this adaptation period. In fact, well-structured onboarding can significantly impact the satisfaction and productivity of new hires while reducing turnover. 

The first reason why it’s important to structure trainers' time is to ensure effective knowledge transfer. A detailed onboarding plan helps define the objectives to be achieved, the skills to be acquired, and the resources to be used. This guarantees that the new employee receives comprehensive and consistent training, while avoiding wasted time on less relevant topics. Trainers, with a clear roadmap, can focus on the essentials and respond to questions in a targeted way. 

Furthermore, structuring trainers’ time fosters better relationships between new employees and their colleagues. By allocating specific moments for informal exchanges or team-building activities, companies strengthen bonds among team members. This allows the new employee to feel more comfortable and integrated, creating an environment conducive to collaboration. A positive relationship with the trainer can also encourage the engagement and motivation of the new hire. 

Additionally, an adequate structuring of trainers’ time helps manage expectations on both sides. Trainers know in advance how much time they need to dedicate to onboarding, which helps them plan their other tasks. This minimizes stress and anxiety related to managing responsibilities for both the trainer and the new employee. Consequently, a structured approach fosters a calmer and more productive work climate. 

Finally, investing in a well-defined onboarding structure shows that the company values its employees' development. It reinforces a culture of learning and continuous improvement, motivating team members to share their knowledge and become more involved in training new recruits.

By cultivating an environment where knowledge sharing is encouraged, the company ensures the development of a skilled and engaged team, ready to face future challenges. In summary, structuring trainers’ time is a strategic investment that benefits both new employees and the company as a whole. 

Here are some interesting facts for you: 

• Companies with a well-structured onboarding program are 62% more likely to experience high employee engagement, which directly impacts satisfaction and performance. 

• Engaged employees are 21% more likely to recommend their company. 

• Employees who had a positive onboarding experience are 18 times more likely to be engaged in their work, highlighting the importance of structured onboarding for both individual and collective performance.
