"I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed working with LSA on the design and delivery of the experiential new employee training.  I’ve been getting tons of positive unsolicited feedback.  You truly exceeded everyone's expectations." 
Steven Gray | US Enterprise Services |  Microsoft Corporation

"The experiential New Employee Orientation was an incredible success for over 2500 new hires in four years across the globe. They partnered with us to create an innovative solution on very short notice, and added a huge amount of value that isn't reflected in their cost. We could never have done it without their unmatched combination of expertise, professionalism, and creativity. Even our experienced hires were blown away!" 
Brenda Wagner | Founder and President |  Proxicom

Description:
The traditional approach to "on-boarding" — sitting your new hire down with a stack of reading materials, providing access to eLearning modules, or putting them through a series of PowerPoint presentations — doesn't do much to explain how the organization truly functions or to help them succeed in their new job.

If you are concerned about speed to productivity for new hires, then this customized and experiential new employee on-boarding approach is for you. 

This multi-day, experiential based program helps fast growing service and technology companies to substantially decrease the time it takes for new employees to perform at high-levels internally and at a client. This is especially true for new employees that must deal with:

• Selling, delivering, or servicing custom solutions

• Demanding clients

• Increasing project complexity

• Managing client expectations

• Leading or working in project teams

This proven new employee orientation / on-boarding program provides a platform to introduce company-specific content and methodologies to new employees and have them use it in a reality-based case experience that replicates what they will experience on the job and in the field.

Learning / Facilitation Approach:

1. Assess & Design: Custom design a multi-day, experiential new employee orientation that reflects a company’s specific business objectives, work structures and common challenges. Areas to address can include: administration/ benefits, managing change and personal transitions, internal and external branding, company strategy, values, value proposition, career development, business units, conflict management, project management, scope creep, problem solving, presentations, public speaking, meeting management, consulting, communication, teaming, solution selling, methodologies, technologies, politics, resources, mentoring, and strategic thinking.
    

2. Pilot: Run the multi-day experiential program and have people work on job tasks and situations that require them to address and resolve predefined and reality-based challenges. Facilitate and debrief team outcomes to provide people with a deep learning experience that helps them see the relationships between their results, their actions, and operating paradigms.
    

3. Continuous Improvement: Incorporate feedback and lessons learned into ongoing On Boarding processes. .

Benefits:

• Participants are fully engaged: They are doing and learning.
   

• Up to a 50%+ reduction in time required for new employees to add value: Highly focused on what people need to know and do.
   

• Increased client satisfaction and service levels: Learning that’s directly applicable to client project situations and project delivery.
   

• Time and money savings: More prepared employees require less support, less damage control, and have greater productivity.
   

• Increased morale and sense of culture: New employees create bonds that increase information sharing, morale, and cultural normalization.
   

• Increased consistency and application of methodology: Through experiential practice and application, new employees become advocates and “super users” of key methodologies.
   

• Increased Cross Selling of Services: Increasing awareness of multiple service offerings and their connections increases both cross and referral selling between business units, practice areas, industry verticals, and geographies. .

Target Audience:
Experienced and inexperienced new employees.

What new hires say about new employee on-boarding:

"This is the first time in my career I've seen such dedication in helping a new employee quickly become autonomous and productive."

"I am very happy with the level of support I received from my manager and mentor from the new employee orientation program. The amount of material available across the whole suite of products is vast. I was particularly impressed with the online material available in vault, video vault and the canned demo's. Knowledge is invaluable in my role and the amount of information I need is readily available."

"This is the best on-boarding experience I've ever had with any company.  The new hire Survivors' Guide is of particular great help."

"It helps to know that there IS a process of joining a company as a new hire, and I'm not just a resource thrown in a cloud to push some workload on me without first making me ready or giving me time to get ready.  It helps that there is a on-boarding process for joining the company, and that I am not simply given a large workload without ensuring I am ready and able to succeed."

"The new hire checklists are of great help.  The new hire Survivors' Guide is great.  I am very happy with my progress during my first 90 day period."

"I'm very pleased with this new hire orientation and onboarding program.  It's not normal for a company to train new hires in this quality (I was very positively surprised)."

What hiring managers say about new employee on-boarding:

"In fact the guidance provided with the new hire orientation program is really valuable.  It promotes communication and collaboration and reduces the ramp up time for on-boarding new employees. Thanks a lot for your support." 

"As a hiring manager, I was at first skeptical of the process.  Now, I mandate that all new employees go through the new hire orientation process because it saves me time and dramatically increases their speed to productivity." 
 

"With my success dependent upon the success of my team, getting new hires up to speed quickly is critical to support our growth plans.  The customized new hire on-boarding and orientation process is making a big difference."
