Your first day on the job was exciting and scary at the same time. But it\u2019s even more intimidating when you don\u2019t know what people expect from you or where you should turn your attention first.<\/p>\n<p>Now multiply that times 100. That\u2019s how your new managers feel on their first day if you don\u2019t\u2019 take time to prepare them for their roles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So what can you do to set your managers up for success?<\/p>\n<p>Two words: manager onboarding.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Why You Should Invest in Manager Onboarding<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparehris.com\/blog\/bad-managers-employee-engagement\/\">Bad managers<\/a> share the responsibility for low employee morale, poor engagement, and sagging productivity rates. According to Gallup they account for up to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/businessjournal\/182321\/employees-lot-managers.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">70% of the variation in employee engagement statistics<\/a>. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In other words, good managers create happy employees; bad managers create unhappy employees.<\/p>\n<p>But bad management practices aren\u2019t always solely the manager\u2019s fault. Many new managers are thrust into leadership roles with no guidance about expectations, company culture, job responsibilities, or the dynamics of the team.<\/p>\n<p>If you understand the value of onboarding a new employee (better engagement, higher productivity, increased retention), it should make sense that the value increases exponentially for managers. Their actions and reactions will create a ripple effect that extends to all of their direct reports and colleagues.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>6 Keys to Effective Manager Onboarding<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>So we agree that manager onboarding is important\u2014but how do we pull it off? What is the secret to a manager onboarding program that delivers the results you want? Here are seven keys to doing it right.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Communicate Expectations<br \/>\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t assume that a manager\u2019s years of experience mean he or she will automatically know what to do. Take the time to communicate job guidelines, company culture, and expectations for managers. Make organizational strategies and goals clear as well as the specifics of the job.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Introduce the Team<br \/>\n<\/strong>Help managers get to know their new team members by providing background on the people they will be managing. Talk about strengths and weaknesses, interpersonal dynamics, and any other information that might be relevant to the role. For example, if someone on the team was passed over for a promotion, let the new manager know so she doesn\u2019t walk into a hornet\u2019s nest.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Plan One-On-One Interactions<br \/>\n<\/strong>One of the best ways to orient managers to their new team is to facilitate one-on-one meetings during onboarding. These meetings don\u2019t have to be long. Even a few minutes talking with each employee can give the new manager a feel for the opportunities and challenges he might be facing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Implement People Management Training<br \/>\n<\/strong>Do you have a training strategy designed to help new leaders become better people managers? Remember, just because an employee is good at her job doesn\u2019t mean she will be a good leader. She needs to know how to motivate people, how to resolve conflict, how to communicate effectively, how to provide helpful feedback, and much more. Don\u2019t just toss her into the role and expect her to sink or swim.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Conduct Personality and Leadership Assessments<br \/>\n<\/strong>During onboarding, use assessments to get a feel for the new manager\u2019s leadership style and personality. This information will help you equip each manager with the tools he needs for success.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Provide Technology Support<br \/>\n<\/strong>Use your HRIS to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparehris.com\/blog\/trainuse-onboarding-engage\/\">facilitate the manager onboarding process<\/a>. Many of the same strategies you use for entry-level hires can also carry over into management onboarding. For example, consider assigning a mentor who can monitor progress, create goals, and monitor training. Your HRIS will keep everything on schedule and make it easy to complete paperwork and provide feedback.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>People management is no joke. It takes a specific skill set to effectively lead a team of people, keep them on task, and help them reach their personal potential. Manager onboarding is one way to make sure your managers have the tools they need for the job. And that&#8217;s good news for your entire organization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Does your HRIS make the onboarding process easy? If not, it\u2019s time for an update!
