Today on the Grow Your Influence Podcast Juliet and Kristy-Lee are discussing the importance of effective induction and onboarding programs.

So often when we have a new team member joining us, we do the bare minimum. Point them to their desk and set them to work. Or worse, as we share, we’ve both seen examples where desks and computers were not even set up for new starters and they had to do it themselves!

The truth is, an effective onboarding program is a key retention strategy, it’s one of the most effective things we can do to get our new team member settled in, across their role, and contributing to the team.

In this episode we discuss some of the key strategies and practical elements to effective and high quality induction and onboarding programs.

We would love to hear from you and learn about how you induct and onboard staff in your business. You can share your experiences and ask questions at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/

Today on the Grow Your Influence Podcast Juliet and Kristy-Lee are discussing how leaders and managers can help set young people up for success in their first job.

Do you remember when your secured your first ‘real’ job?You may have completed your studies, sat through interviews and assessments, and finally received an offer for your dream job. Or maybe you weren’t sure where your career was headed, but got a job offer and decided to take the plunge and say yes.

How did you feel? Nervous? Excited? Uncertain? Probably a mix of all the emotions.

Your first job is a big deal, even more so if it’s something you’ve been searching and studying for.

Problem is, it’s been a while since most of us leaders have been in this position, and we may have forgotten just how nerve wracking it can be. We may have also forgotten that as a young person we didn’t know what to do, what to wear, where to go and what to expect when we started.

In this episode, we discuss some practical steps any leader can take to help set their new, young employee up for success with the business.

From having a great pre commencement communication strategy, to engaging them in how to prepare and what to expect, there is so much we can do to support young people joining our teams.

Today on the Grow Your Influence Podcast we are picking up on a theme Juliet and Kristy-Lee have been coming across recently– that is the feeling of uncertainty that so many leaders are currently feeling.

It can be difficult to know how to lead effectively when we don’t have clarity about the future, and it feels as though things could change on any given day.

In this episode we discuss the reasons behind some of these feelings of uncertainty, and what you can do when it comes to leading effectively and looking forward despite uncertain times.

We would love to hear from you and learn about how you deal with uncertainty with your team. You can share your experiences and ask questions at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/
