Training New Employees: The Importance of the First 30 Days of Employment

Training new employees is a critical part of any business. During the first 30 days of employment, new hires are still getting to know their jobs, their places within the company, coworkers, and the company itself. They are often nervous, but excited to come in and do a good job. It’s important that businesses provide their new employees with an effective onboarding plan that will help them become successful during their first 30 days on the job. 

The Benefits of Onboarding

When you take the time to provide proper training and onboarding during a new employee’s first 30 days of employment with your organization, you will reap the rewards for years to come. Employees who have gone through an effective onboarding program are more likely to stay with your company for longer, which means less money spent on recruiting and hiring costs over time. They also tend to be more productive than those who don’t receive such training—meaning they can contribute more value over time. Organizations with an established onboarding process experience 54% greater new hire productivity leading to better performance. This also applies to onboarding for remote employees.

Plus, when employees feel supported by their employer during the onboarding process, they develop loyalty and trust toward their employer—which leads to higher overall productivity and better job satisfaction among your staff members.

What Is Required for Onboarding Success?

There are several things required for successful onboarding plan for the first 30 days of employment. 

First and foremost, it’s important that your company has a comprehensive onboarding plan in place before hiring any new employees. This plan should include clear goals and objectives that explain what is expected from each employee and how they can achieve success during their first month on the job. Additionally, it should include training materials on relevant topics such as company culture, policies and procedures, safety regulations, etc., as well as information about team members and other resources available to them. 

The second key component of an effective onboarding plan is creating a supportive environment for new hires by providing regular feedback throughout their first month on the job. This feedback should be timely, specific, and focused on helping them develop skills and competencies necessary for success within your organization. Additionally, this feedback should be provided in a way that encourages open dialogue between employer and employee so that new hires feel comfortable asking questions or seeking assistance when needed. 

Finally, it’s important to create a 30-60-90 day plan for onboarding so that you can track progress over time. This plan should outline goals set at each stage (30 days, 60 days, 90 days) as well as expectations of performance at each stage to ensure everyone is on track to meet those goals. It should also include timelines for completion of tasks assigned during each stage so that everyone is aware of deadlines set by management or HR staff prior to starting work on any given task or project.  

Training new employees is an essential part of any business operation; however it can be difficult to know where to start when creating an onboarding plan for someone who has never worked with your organization before.
