As an IT leader you are well aware that almost every major task your colleagues will work on at your organization involves technology and digital transformation, so preparing for her first day is a critical responsibility for your team. According to a 2016 Forbes Insight article,"new hires are most likely to quit within the first three to six months of employment" making the onboarding stage “a small window of opportunity for an organization to make a good impression.”
Unfortunately, when technology isn’t ready for a new hire or set up correctly, that initial impression takes a hit. Plus, your IT team can get frustrated when they have to interrupt critical time-sensitive projects to set up new systems without notice. Of course, systems also have to be available for set up and that can involve back and forth with your purchasing team or IT supplier.
And yet technology for new hires has to be done well and it has to be done right. The good news is that there are some tried and true steps you can take that will make HR, your team, and especially that new hire happy.
