The process for this programme is the same for each employee, the outcome is different for each function. 1) What is your opinion about this? 2) Should we exclude employees? If so, who? orchid_hermsen https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308237302 2018-11-27 13:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308237302 After the onboarding period a new employee can independently execute the majority tasks (75%) as formulated in the job function description. What is your opinion about this learning goal? orchid_hermsen https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308237708 2018-11-27 13:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308237708 Pre boarding start from the moment a potential employee has contact with Vanderlande. What is your opinion about this? orchid_hermsen https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308237926 2018-11-27 13:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308237926 New employees work together on a project in a small project team. The result of this project creates direct value for the organization (e.g. for the business, customer and/or processes). 1) What should be the content/focus of the project? 2) Could/should we involve customers? 3) How should we organize the meetings (local, global, …)? Is it realistic that the business make resources available to facilitate this project? orchid_hermsen https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308238610 2018-11-27 13:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308238610 1) Who should be the buddy? 2) And what should be the role of the buddy? orchid_hermsen https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308238861 2018-11-27 13:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308238861 What other ideas and feedback do you have? Please feel free to share! orchid_hermsen https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308238941 2018-11-27 13:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/308238941 The manager has a rough estimation about bridging the gap on organization-fit and function-fit. Is this possible and wanted? orchid_hermsen https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/309180030 2018-11-29 09:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/309180030 1. Vanderlande Employee in the same phase of life https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312798384 I was a buddy via Young Vanderlande. It did not matter that we were in complete different departments, but it was just helpful in a social way. With phase of life I mean that a new employee with kids has different way of thinking than a student or somebody who's kids already left the house. It makes the informal talk more easy.
For the buddy the gain is to get to know somebody in a different department and get a better feeling about what they are doing.]]> 2018-12-10 07:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312798384 At the moment not everybody is automatically following the two weeks onboarding programme. I know that LCC engineers are not joining because their groupleader finds it not necessary. https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312798518 2018-12-10 07:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312798518 75% score is to high.... I think it needs a year working on the job to reach this percentage... https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799166 2018-12-10 07:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799166 75% is to high. Actually, the 2 week onboard training is just an overview for the company, which is not that specific to the technical tasks. https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799326 2018-12-10 07:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799326 2. The role of the buddy is to be a sounding board, place to ask questions which are not as comfortable within your own team or get to know another department or role in more detail. https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799431
It is more comfortable for some people to be able to ask questions to someone they don't directly work together or report to. It is the role of the buddy to give advice or information. Ideally the buddy is positive about the organization.]]> 2018-12-10 07:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799431 from my opinion, it's hard for technical position... https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799634 2018-12-10 07:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799634 My personal experience was very positive. I felt very welcome at Vanderlande. In my current job I am busy with job applications because my group needs to grow and we do our very best to give candidates a good feeling about Vanderlande.... https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799668 2018-12-10 07:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312799668 yes, my manager real have a rough estimate about that. That's possible https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312800012 2018-12-10 07:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312800012 1. The content of the project https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312800345 I think the project is mainly for the new employees to understand the product and process from the company.]]> 2018-12-10 07:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312800345 Yes, I think it's very very important that the manager exactly knows what the new employee needs. Of course together with the project experience where the employee feels the leak of knowledge. https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312800593 2018-12-10 07:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312800593 2. About customer https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312800863 It's better if we could involve experienced colleagues as internal customers.]]> 2018-12-10 07:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312800863 1. It should be a realistic business case. https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801006 Please be aware that every new employee can play a role in the project. What about a new facilities/HR/R&D/Service hire?]]> 2018-12-10 07:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801006 3. About meeting https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801244 Probably we could organise the meeting globally. As we work in a global organisation, we need to contact colleagues from different contries in our actual work.]]> 2018-12-10 07:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801244 2. No https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801352 From my point of view the business case should be realistic, but it is to much communication to align this with customers.]]> 2018-12-10 07:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801352 1: The content must make sure that the employee faces the same problems as on a "real" project. I think it's better to work on a "real" project! https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801545 2: No, not necessary. Employee will become in contact with customer during working on the "real" project.

3: I think it's not realistic that we reach this goal.... ]]> 2018-12-10 07:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801545 3. I would say 3 global groups NA/EMEA/ASIA https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801623
Schedule Skype meetings. The split is to keep it practical. Maybe the three groups could compete and the best group wins a small price or site visit at a real customer?

Making resources available? I think maybe they can make some time to review the business cases]]> 2018-12-10 07:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312801623 1. In my opinion, the purpose should help the new employees to know the right way to work in Vanderlande. It's better for the news to know the core value of Vanderlande. And they should familiar with the product of Vanderlande https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312802037 2018-12-10 07:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312802037 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312802413 Yes, maybe recruitment could support with some questionnaire to measure the levels of fit?]]> 2018-12-10 08:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312802413 1: A senior college with the same job profile. https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312802681 2: To guide the new employee when he/she is working on a "real" project together with the manager]]> 2018-12-10 08:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312802681 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312802872 Agree. We have only one chance on our first impression. Especially with new high potentials you have a chance of loosing them when we communicate poorly or don't share our thoughts on what we can offer them development wise.]]> 2018-12-10 08:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312802872 I you wants an live interview please schedule a meeting. I am working in Veghel https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312803666 2018-12-10 08:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312803666 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312803914 75% is high. After onboarding the employee could start his role and after 4 weeks you could evaluate how much of the tasks (s)he is able to execute

The challenge will be how to deliver it within a relevant time frame from joining the company, especially for shift based roles. ]]> 2018-12-10 08:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312810467 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312810964 75% seems ambitious but doable, it would be very depending on the duration and content of the onboarding programme. ]]> 2018-12-10 08:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312810964 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312811259 Absolutely agree]]> 2018-12-10 08:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312811259 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312811380 I agree this is one of the core responsibilities of a manager in my opinion]]> 2018-12-10 08:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312811380 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312811616 I like the idea of a learning project, however it will be unrealistic to find enough projects that have a business benefit and a learning outcome for new employees. The solution could be to have a list of projects that is reused every year, a bit like a case study. This way would have a measurable outcome and potential incremental improvement by solving a reoccurring problem. ]]> 2018-12-10 08:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312811616 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312812445 The buddy should be a person that has experience in the job profile but also within Vanderlande to guide the new employee ]]> 2018-12-10 08:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/312812445 I pamela_gay1 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314280599 2018-12-13 15:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314280599 I pamela_gay1 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314280625 2018-12-13 15:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314280625 I like the idea of all employees having a consistent structure for their onboarding process and don't think anyone should be excluded. pamela_gay1 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314280799 2018-12-13 15:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314280799 75% seems fair but think the onboarding period of time may need to be different by role. Depends upon the complexity of the role. Time to competency/productivity is not only dependent upon the skills an employee initially brings to the role but also the availability of documentation and training and mentoring available for their position pamela_gay1 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314282728 2018-12-13 15:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314282728 Agree - important in the recruiting process and must carry through after being hired. When attracting and retaining great talent, it is very important to let them know up front what to expect as far as an onboarding process, and what is available to help them prepare and move to future opportunities for skill and career path and growth. pamela_gay1 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314286174 2018-12-13 15:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314286174 I agree. A rough estimate of what we will need to invest is important prior to making a decision about employing someone . That same information should be used as the role and employee specific onboarding plans are created. pamela_gay1 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314295297 2018-12-13 15:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314295297 I like the idea. New employees bring a fresh perspective and are eager to contribute. Keys to success of this type of initiative would include giving them an actual business problem we are facing to solve and the support of those who are accountable for fixing it to support and consider their ideas to remedy pamela_gay1 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314315014 2018-12-13 15:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314315014 The buddy should be someone who has the same job profile or within their organization and has held a similar position , knows Vanderlande, who is positive about the organization, interested in helping others flourish, capable of teaching and approachable pamela_gay1 https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314321776 2018-12-13 16:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/orchid_hermsen/8amnmonoswj3/wish/314321776
