Onboarding
High expectations are placed on newly appointed managers. On the one hand, they are expected to settle into their new environment quickly and become effective; on the other hand, however, they are often tasked with providing fresh impetus and bringing about change within their area of management.
Achieving challenging business objectives depends on the successful integration of these managers; increased turnover, higher EBIT and technical innovations are just a few examples.
This situation presents a conflict that carries risks. On the one hand, the manager is expected to fit in with the company and its culture; on the other hand, they are expected to bring about change within that very culture. It is a dilemma that can lead to the manager leaving at an early stage. This is costly:
- Lost Time in Design
- Vacancy for the post
- Staff frustration
- Damage to the reputation of those involved in the selection process
- Failure to achieve the desired effect
- Direct and indirect costs of recruitment
- Strengthening perseverance
For the manager themselves, too, it is a difficult experience not to be able to settle into an organisation and to be „rejected“. This also damages your company’s reputation in the market.
To ensure the successful integration of new managers, we support this process in collaboration with the manager and your organisation:
- We help executives to put the „old“ company out of their minds and open their minds to your company.
- We help your new manager to become aware of their own strengths and weaknesses and to assess how these align with the requirements of their new role.
- We act as sparring partners for both you and your manager, helping to identify the relevant expectations and assessments, and facilitating the discussions needed to make adjustments.
- We prepare the manager for specific situations to ensure they perform well.
- We help analyse cultural requirements and provide support in developing change management strategies.
- Through these measures, we ensure stable and swift integration, thereby helping to guarantee a high level of effectiveness in line with the company’s objectives.
This approach is project-based and is tailored to your organisation, the new manager and the challenges of the specific situation.
