What is executive onboarding?

An executive onboarding programme involves managing the integration of a new executive into a company. This means ensuring that new hires are prepared for their new role and aware of the relevant challenges and the culture of the organisation. 

Executive onboarding services engage and inform incoming employees in a far more tailored and thorough manner than the usual dull presentations. When paired with executive coaching, this helps executives hit the ground running and achieve their full potential.

What are the four stages of the onboarding process?

An effective onboarding process should follow a few key steps, which provide the basis for the individual’s smooth transition into their new role. Generally, an executive onboarding process will involve the following four stages:

• Pre-onboarding

Executive onboarding should start before the new employee’s first day. It’s useful to give your successful candidate opportunities to ask any questions as well as support with any organisational and practical tasks and considerations around the transition. 

• Introduction to colleagues and culture

When a new executive arrives at the company, making them feel welcome is essential. This means giving them plenty of time to get to know colleagues and get insights into the organisational culture.

• Role-specific training

Providing specifically tailored training for each individual helps them to understand and be prepared for the challenges they are likely to face. They can then begin with the best-informed and most effective approach from their first day.

• Review and reflection

Onboarding should be a mutually beneficial process, and you maximise its efficacy by facilitating two-way conversations about a new executive’s progress and what they need to help them achieve great things.

But how do they know what they need? agp’s coaches understand what questions to ask, in a safe and supportive environment. Together with the executive, they establish the positive, long-term changes necessary to achieve the goals of both the new executive and their employer.
