Employee Onboarding

Onboarding is where you prove the value of your culture.

Onboarding is the most important process in any organisation to get right.

Employee Growth​

Leaders create leaders.

Use scaffolding and MKOs to help new hires fall into a pit of success, while using beginers mind to learn how to improve onboarding processes.

Grow with flow by sizing the next challenge appropriately then use interegotaive questions to review the learning experience to find ways for improvment on how to think about how to solve the problem. Enforce the culture to speak up and say if something does not make sense or seems wrong.

Better people, grow better businesses.
