5 Steps to Ensure Your New Hire Turns into a Rockstar

Hiring the right employees is one of the most important parts of your business, it can also be the most challenging. There is nothing worse than hiring an employee who has all of the skills, but is not properly aligned in their role. It’s expensive to hire and fire, so role and value alignment should be at the core of your recruiting process. Here are five steps to ensure your new hire turns into a rockstar.

Ensure your employee is aligned with their role. 

The number one reason employees don’t succeed in their job is that they are not aligned with their current role. Role alignment is a predictor of longevity for an organization. Companies that hire staffing agencies to do their recruiting don’t address the importance of role alignment within the organization. Therefore, they miss the mark on hiring the best employees for their openings. 

In order for role alignment to be effective, the employee’s skill sets must coincide with the role they are applying for. Although, their skillsets will not predict their happiness within the organization. This is why employers also need to focus on value alignment. Does the prospective employee align with your organization’s values and culture? If so, you’re off to a good start!

How to ensure your new hire turns into a rockstar

Explain the purpose of the organization and how they play into it.

Before you hire a new employee, ensure your company’s purpose is communicated clearly throughout their interview process, even before they apply. In order for an employee to feel connected to your organization, they need to understand your purpose. Employees who feel connected to an organization’s purpose are more likely to succeed and grow with your company.

Give them direction

Once your employee has accepted the offer and has started with your company, it is important to give them direction for the first few weeks. Layout exactly what their roles and responsibilities include in order to give them a greater sense of purpose within the organization. Employees with direction will feel connected to their work. 

Make them part of the team

Once your employee has been properly onboarded and given direction, it’s time to make them a part of the team! It is likely that new hires will work in a team at some point in their career, so it is important that they connect with the team right away. 

Encourage training and development

Training and developing employees not only helps them grow, but it helps your organization as well. Develop and implement internal training programs to build their skills. Another way to help develop employees is to work with leadership members to allow new employees to shadow different departments. This helps the employee to see their future within the company and form a plan for their future.

At Culture Works, we are deeply invested in the success of our clients. We believe in understanding our clients on a deeper level in order to help them achieve success for their specific needs.
