1. Define clear examples of your focus areas
This induction template is set out with clearly defined areas. To begin such a template. it is important to have clear areas of focus that need to be addressed. Such focus areas are important in addressing specific targets that need to be worked on.
For example within this induction template, some focus areas could be Onboarding, Managerial training, Organization, and Orientation.
2. Think about the objectives that could fall under that focus area
The next step would be to develop strategic objectives that are specifically aligned to the set focus area.
An example within the focus area 'Streamline orientation' could be: Ensure an organized administration system
The reason behind setting such objectives is they narrowly define the goals that need to be met within that focus area. An easy way to understand this is by looking at this process as a funnel that gets more specific and direct towards what is trying to be achieved.
3. Set yourself Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to tackle the objective
The next filtration process would be to implement measurable targets that are known as KPIs. These are performance indicators that are used to track how far teams and organizations are from accomplishing that objective.
Usually, within this induction template, 2-3 KPIs are set per objective to track progress and reach rate.
For instance, some potential KPIs for the Objectivereate an Amazing first impression Company Culture can be to Reduce employee turnover rate by 25% and Fill at least 20% of new roles.
4. Implement related projects to achieve the KPIs
Another important element to implement the project. These go hand in hand with KPIs as actions carried out to allow progress to be tracked.
For example, If focusing on the KPI 'Decrease managerial turnover rate by 15%', a project that could be implemented could be 'weekly job rotation of line manager roles'. Such a project is beneficial in not only ensuring the KPI is met but also measuring the success of such an actionable outcome.
5. Utilize Cascade tools to track and visualize performance
A very useful tool to hold your employees accountable and responsible for their targets is the use of dashboards. Dashboards are important as visual tools for displaying tables and graphs to track and actually see the performance. It is also a good way to distinctly separate KPIs and projects and other areas that want to be monitored.
Within this Induction strategy template, there are two dashboards that have been created.
