Offer Management and On-Boarding
Surveys prove that almost 80% of employees go home early on their first day because the company was not adequately prepared for their arrival. The solution lies in on-boarding: a structured orienting process whereby Prosper can help your new arrivals enjoy a positive, productive transition to a different working environment.
The concept of on-boarding is best described as a comprehensive, systematic approach to orienting new employees. However, while it's universally acknowleged that new recruits need to be properly introduced and inducted into working patterns which may be unfamiliar, there's more to on-boarding than simply showing someone the ropes.
In fact, the faster you can ease in your new employees, the quicker mutual trust is achieved and they can start to contribute positively to your organisation's goals.
On-boarding has two main objectives:
- To welcome new arrivals and make them feel comfortable in their new surroundings
- To minimise the time before they become fully productive members of the team.
It's also important that socialisation becomes part of the 'honeymoon' period, addressing such issues as company ethos and culture, acceptable short cuts and how things get done, informal structure and key people to know.
Prosper's onboarding ethos is engrained in it's RPO partnering model. We can help retained clients design clear and professional on-boarding processes to address company and departmental overviews, policies and procedures, job expectations and administrative housekeeping. For the benefit of both you and your new employees, the principal goals include:
- Helping your employee identify with you, fostering positive, enthusiastic feelings towards the company
- Give the employee an idea of your company's main priorities and values
- Helping the employee feel valued; creating a sense of belonging and encouraging socialisation
- Avoiding misunderstandings and reducing new employee anxiety
- Setting performance targets
- Decreasing the learning curve.
On-boarding can dramatically increase productivity, profitability and reduce unwanted labour turnover. By sharing critical information and company values from the word go, the costs to your business of misconceptions, frustrations and even premature departures can be minimised.
Offer Management
Never to be underestimated, offer management is crucial to finally securing the people that the recruitment process has worked so hard to identify. At Prosper we pride ourselves on our understanding of all parties'needs - along with our decisive negotiation skills - ensuring equable solutions for everyone.
Offer management begins with the initial expression of interest in a candidate. From here ensues an often-complex sequence of events which can involve multiple counter offers and various negotiations over the remuneration package.
At Prosper we pride ourselves on our highly-successful offer management techniques, and in finding diplomatic solutions which maintain good relationships on all sides. Seeking always the 'win-win' situations that each party truly deserves, our track record is impeccable.
