What are the common characteristics of programs in less evolved stages of maturity?
December 2014
Onboarding Maturity Stages Defined
The Onboarding Maturity Curve
World-Class
• Basic design & programming (e.g., just Orientation)
• “Fire-hose” approach to content delivery
• Measurement limited to ad hoc feedback collected during or after Orientation
Stage 1Basic
Stage 2Emerging
Stage 3Progressing
Stage 4Advanced
Stage 5World-Class
• Emerging design & programming (e.g., beyond Orientation)
• Some content shared before Day 1
• Program measurement includes standard new hire survey, likely within first 90 days
• Progressing design (longer duration, greater mix of Onbo Margin elements)
• More content delivered in a distributed fashion
• Onboarding-specific metrics tracked at multiple points in time
• Advanced design & programming reflective of most Onbo Margin pillars and phases
• Some content deferred until hires have context
• Surveys of key roles (e.g., new hire’s manager) used to assess program impact
• World-Class design & programming reflective of all Onbo Margin pillars and phases
• Hires have sufficient context before content
• Some predictive measurement of program impact on business objectives

Onboarding redesign initiatives experience many common mistakes
December 2014
1. Neglect to do a proper diagnostic exercise
2. Start with software
3. Start with Orientation…and lose energy shortly thereafter
4. Copy and paste the kitchen sink
5. Underestimate the task: development, implementation, sustainability
6. Design too much content before context
7. Failure to start the change management process early
8. Forget the manager is core to the successful integration of the new hire
