Why proper Onboarding is so important.
The underestimated process: Onboarding
Onboarding new leaders is one of the most underestimated processes in companies. In practice, the focus is often on administrative tasks: IT access, legal requirements, workplace organization.
What is often overlooked:
Purely formal onboarding leaves new managers alone in the crucial phase of their integration – with far-reaching consequences. There is a lack of orientation, goals remain vague and the impact is lost.
The so-called break-even point – the point at which a manager creates real added value – is significantly delayed.
60%
Almost 60% of leaders report that they need at least six months to become effective in their new role.
20%
Around 20 % even need nine months or longer.
The good news is:
With a structured, holistic onboarding journey, this period can be shortened by up to a third – and full performance is achieved much earlier.
We support managers even before they actually start and through the critical initial phase – individually, goal-oriented and personal.
Jointly with our partner Behija Karup – who has over 20 years of experience as an HR manager and Chief People Officer in national and international companies – we support managers individually and effectively through this crucial phase.
