Have you ever felt like you’ve given your new hires all the tools to succeed, but they’re still swinging and missing? ⚾️
You’ve got the training videos, the SOPs, and yet…something’s not clicking. Cue the self-doubt spiral:
Did I make a huge hiring mistake?
Am I bad at explaining things?
Am I a terrible judge of character?
Did I just get duped by a dishonest candidate?
Take a deep breath. It’s not you. Seriously.
And to be honest, it’s probably not even them.
It’s the whole traditional approach to new hire training and development that’s got us all stuck in the same old rut. (Shocker, right? I’ve got some beef with outdated people ops systems.)
If you’ve ever felt like banging your head against a wall because your new employee isn’t hitting their marks despite all your training efforts, then this week’s podcast episode is exactly what you need.
We’re talking about the major mindset shift that all leaders and managers need to make the moment that offer letter is signed. I’m not talking about woowoo mindset work. I’m talking about a strategic reframing that will not only totally transform your new hire training and development, it will unlock your employees’ potential for success.
We’re breaking down:
💪 Why investing in your training process is investing in your leadership
🎯 How traditional training methods sometimes miss the mark, and why
🔍 When, how, and why to conduct a full skills gap analysis for each new hire
🗣️ The importance of strategic, engaging conversations that uncover and bridge skills gaps
🚀 Transforming your training process into something that taps into the raw potential of each new hire
📝 And of course, the role of documentation through it all
So, if you’re ready to stop second guessing your new hires and start creating a training process that actually brings out their best AND makes you a better leader, hit play on this episode:
