I believe on-boarding and re-boarding are over-looked opportunities for organizations right now. I also believe in a simple, practical, and valuable approach. Sometimes what seems simple to me may not be as simple or practical to a new manager who has never made an intentional effort to on-board or re-board.
If you are using Lisk Associates’ Talent Insights report or Trimetrix Personal Talent report, those reports have the pages available for simple on-boarding.
There are five pages I call the Combo Section of the report. Those pages are:
#1. Potential Behavioral and Motivational Strengths
#2. Potential Behavioral and Motivational Conflict – I call this page potential weaknesses
#3. Ideal Environment – I believe this is the single best page for re-boarding
#4. Keys to Motivating – “Wants”
#5. Keys to Managing – “Needs”
All five pages are made up of bullet-point statements. I have created a 7-minute video for everyone to watch and complete the exercises along with the conversation-starters associated with each page.

If you are on-boarding, give the new hire these five pages and this link and then set up a time for a 30-minute conversation around the thought-starters I provide in the video. No surprises, just good conversation. It’s never too late to work on professional development.
