ARTS - Extending Your Onboarding Package

Thank you for purchasing our onboarding package. Good onboarding is able to increase the retention of a valuable and suitable new team member. With the help of our onboarding package, you as the onboarding manager can do your best to establish an open and warm welcome culture in order to integrate the new team member quickly. Because: on the one hand, our package offers concrete assistance for the onboarding process as well as the necessary To Do's, and on the other hand, it is a source of ideas for the individualisation of your onboarding instruments.

At this point, another tip from our side:
Based on our materials/checklists, we recommend adapting the onboarding process and its activities to the job profile. This way, you can establish individual needs-oriented onboarding processes and content in your company, which will be even more effective.

If you have technical problems with the content, please contact us immediately.

 

Extending Your Onboarding - Content

The documents are numbered so that you can process them systematically. But of course you can also mix up the order as you wish. Under each number you will find the document to download, as well as a short explanation and tips.

If you don't want to download the documents individually, you can also download all the files at once (except for the leadership training in video format). Documents that are editable can be adapted to your needs as well as your corporate design.

11. Communication etiquette

In every company there are a number of implicit rules and communicative customs. Often employees apply them unconsciously, but would not be able to name them concretely. This makes it clear how challenging it is for newcomers to find their way in this communication world. This is where the scientifically based communication etiquette tool in the style of a question catalogue comes in: by asking specific questions about individual communication channels and contexts, it can make desired paths and behavioural expectations transparent in order to save your new team member from putting his foot in his mouth.

This tool consists of two parts:

1. questionnaire for reflection
2. handout for the newcomer to present the results of the reflection

Who for: Hiring Managers - Help your new team member get started with the communication habits of your team.

Use this tool

  • to resolve questions about personal interactions such as "Do I use formal or informal language?", "Personally or rather by e-mail?", "Can I address higher hierarchical levels directly?" or "Who gives feedback to whom and how?
  • to introduce your communication tools and channels,
  • to create a conversation starter on topics such as approval process, meeting culture, commitment and error culture,
  • to make your own company or department culture transparent in a simple and comprehensible way.
