All Onboard
Get an inside look at on-boarding from Frank Kalman as he starts as an editor with Talent Management and explores the lessons learned about on-boarding in general.
I know it’s been a while, but I thought I’d brush off the dust here with what I’m sure many will agree is an absolutely stunning revelation: Social media is pretty remarkable.
OK, so maybe that was a little sarcastic. As we pass the halfway point of 2012, most of us are completely aware of [...]
Does your on-boarding program have a mentoring element to it? It should.
For as much reading and researching as I’ve done on the importance of mentoring and coaching, I can hardly think of a period in the lifespan of an employee when having a mentor or coach would be more important.
Some could surely argue [...]
I know, I know … many of you might have rolled your eyes at that headline. But, as silly as it sounds, a recent blog from The Wall Street Journal may give the idea some legs.
According to this post written last week, research says that youngsters who attend preschool end up performing [...]
Those who have been entrenched in the world of on-boarding know there are two vastly distinct sides to the practice. There is the tactical, systematic side — the act of processing new-hire tax forms, security information, payroll, etc. — and then there is the cultural, need-to-know-to-be-successful-in-my-job and organizational culture side.

Arguably the biggest succession planning story in sports is reaching its apex at this very moment.
Peyton Manning, the longtime, sure-to-be-a-first-ballot Hall of Fame NFL quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts, is parting ways with the organization. As these words stream from my fingertips to the page (or to a page on a Web browser), Colts [...]
Unless you’ve been trapped underneath a rock for the these last two weeks, are on day 20 of a month-long TV, newspaper and Internet boycott or have just been too busy with work to notice, then you’ve probably heard a lot about Jeremy Lin.
Lin, who plays professional basketball for the New York [...]
As an adolescent growing up in the mid-to-late 1990s, I had two favorite television sitcoms: “Seinfeld” and “Friends.”
Both shows left an iconic footprint on American popular culture, and both always seemed to have that one episode where it did nothing but recap the best moments of the show leading up to that point.
You all [...]
Are you funny? It could help you successfully on-board into a new job — or, at least help you fit in as part of a company’s culture.
