Hybrid workplace…should we stop saying that? more than 70% of the employers are embracing the new way of workplace. This is really helping them in attracting the talent pool. Everyone is talking about great resignation, this is also creating a great demand and the talent is moving for more flexibility and higher pay.
As employers are recruiting new employees with greater flexibility in work location, how are they planning to maintain the workplace culture?
What does a new employee need to know when they join your organization? Don’t worry I will not repeat the checklist or try to perfect your checklist. I will only focus on the part that has to be different in a hybrid workplace.
Whom should they connect with? Who are the immediate 10 people or less they need to connect with to be successful in their job in the first 30 days? This is very critical for their success. This can be easily accomplished with little planning and an excel sheet.
Next comes the most challenging part…
Once they make the first 10 connections and start learning about their job and company culture they need more connections to stay engaged, create their brand, and to stay productive. This is the most challenging part in a hybrid workplace. Who has the time to make sure that this new hire is constantly getting connected to new people in the organization.
This will create a small bubble where they are only engaged with a few people and their opportunity to make new connections will be limited.
LetsConnectIn.com can help you solve this problem. We recommend forming an organization at a business unit level (with approx 200 / 300 users) and let the roulette run at least twice a month. Users will be paired with someone new every time, and they will get to meet 25 - 50 people in year based on the frequency selected.
This is automated, this runs in the background and sends a calendar invite. Users don’t have to deal with one more app.
