How to design an effective onboarding elearning
Onboarding is not a welcome message or a day of smooth transition to the new member of your team.
Onboarding is a path, an initiatory journey that launches the employee into the dynamics of continuous learning.
Take advantage of this step to change the vision of eLearning by promoting training in your company's culture.
It is important that the onboarding and the transition to continuous training be motivating and engaging.
25% of the turnover happens during the first two months!
So the help we can provide will impact performance and facilitate tasks!
Onboarding elearning
What is onboarding?
In short, onboarding is the moment when you welcome the new employee.
You make sure to give them access to the company's tools and introduce them to the teams.
Work tools
Presentation of the teams
Setting up a training cycle
Communicate on the strategy
Review the objectives and missions
Offer a vision on the position
Build a roadmap to success
This is an opportunity to work on your Brand and your corporate culture. This crucial moment should not overwhelm the employee with responsibilities but motivate him/her! This is not a short mission but a long term strategy.
So how can eLearning be an asset to design and create an onboard training program that decreases turnover and increases the performance of its employees?
So much effort for the employer and the employee during the recruitment process, so you have to put all the assets on your side.
So induction means investing in :
A warm welcome,
Designing clear objectives
Offering support and assistance
A worker needs good tools!
We must never forget to enter into a dialogue with the employee and that each onboarding must have a certain degree of customisation. Aren't we all unique?
Preboarding, First step!
Communication with a future colleague begins a few days before his arrival. He or she should be eager to start! A perfect way also to take this time as a transition step from the old employer to his new challenge.
So how to design a few actions:
Send materials
Give access to training tools
Organize a first webinar to prepare your arrival
Share first names and titles
Get some questions and special needs
Why not give a first onboarding training
This preboarding should not be intrusive or time consuming! It is an exercise for the Brand of the company and it is necessary to keep a friendly tone, still with a certain lightness and a benevolent and positive spirit.
How can you succeed with your eLearning onboarding?
A Learning Management System (LMS) and e-learning courses are the assets to organize and deliver a rich, pleasant and engaging onboarding!
MicroLearning
It is important not to overload the employee and therefore the steps must be short and fast but regular. Nuggets learning should be adopted.
Video-based Learning
The use of video-based learning facilitates access to information. A face, a voice... allows to transmit complex and technical information in a clear, pleasant and digestible way.
Scenario-based Learning
This approach allows the learner to be immersed in the reality of his tasks and to provide real answers.
Learning Path
Preparing a learning path helps to design the steps that take into account the specific needs of the employee and the information needed for the success of his missions.
Social Learning
The employee benefits from better integration into a caring group environment. This does not necessarily mean doing group work, but participating in open conversations is a positive and necessary dynamic. Social learning encourages exchange and accountability.
Encourage activities
From onboarding to continuous training, it is important to encourage interaction. The employee becomes a learner and is part of a cycle where training is a laboratory of research, manipulation, discovery and exchange.
