onboarding

High expectations are placed on newly appointed managers. On the one hand, they are expected to quickly settle into their new environment and become effective, but on the other hand, they often have the task of providing new impetus and changing the management area.

Achieving challenging corporate goals depends on the successful integration of these executives. Increased sales, increased EBIT, and technical innovations are just a few examples.

This situation presents a conflict that carries risks. On the one hand, the manager should fit in with the company and its culture, but on the other hand, they should have a transformative effect on that very culture. It's a dilemma that can lead to an early departure. That's expensive:

  • Lost time of design
  • Vacancy of the position
  • Irritation among employees
  • Damage to the reputation of those involved in the selection process
  • Lack of the desired effect
  • Direct and indirect costs of recruiting
  • Strengthening the forces of persistence

It is also a difficult experience for the manager themselves to be unable to integrate into an organization and to be "rejected." This also damages your company's image in the market.

To ensure the successful integration of new executives, we support this process in collaboration with the executive and your company:

  • We help executives to get the "old" company out of their heads and open themselves up mentally to your company.
  • We support your new manager in becoming aware of their own strengths and weaknesses and in comparing these with the requirements of their new role.
  • We act as sparring partners for you and your managers in identifying respective expectations and assessments and facilitating the dialogues necessary for follow-up action.
  • We prepare managers for specific situations so that they can perform well.
  • We assist in analyzing cultural requirements and support the development of change concepts.
  • These measures enable us to ensure stable and rapid integration, thereby contributing to a high level of effectiveness in terms of the company's objectives.

This approach is project-based and tailored to your company, the new manager, and the challenges of the specific situation.
