We hosted a webinar last week, titled Onboarding: An Employee Engagement Tool, and posed a poll question to our participants:
"How do you currently know if your new employees are highly engaged at the 100 mark?"
Here are the responses--
54% used surveys
21% had one-on-one conversations
25% did not know and does not measure new hire engagement
The great news is that the majority of the organizations in our audience were taking the time during the onboarding process to find out how engaged their new hires are. As studies have shown, the decision to stay in a new job usually happens within the first 6 months, so it is critical to get a gauge of the engagement level of your new hires.
How are you collecting this data? What changes are you making to your onboaridng process in response?

One area we spend a great deal of time working is B2B sales training. In these sales, significant funds are spent training new sales reps in both product knowledge and sales skills. In some industries, like medical sales it can take 6+ months before a new sales rep completes all of the requirements and can be assigned his/her own territory. Therefore, engaging them when onboarding is critical.
The latest cohort of new hires - Millennials - are providing unique challenges to companies when designing and implementing sales training - such as a drive to create fast-paced designs and couching feedback as development. We've written a lot more about Millennials and sales training in this blog post: http://salestrainingconnection.com/2011/03/07/the-millennials-are-coming-%e2%80%93-what-are-the-implications-for-sales-training/
