Orientation Express Managers Guide- CD

By: Susan Robinson, Gayle Hopkins

Engage new employees the first day with this self-directed program

A successful orientation is critical to your new employees’ success on the job. Here’s a self-study program your managers, team leaders and mentors to new employees can use to get new hires off to a great start, reduce anxiety, and create job satisfaction from day one.

Unlike most orientations, the manager takes an active role in this process. You’ll find the technique of self-directed learning paired with follow-up discussions with the manager stimulates the building of solid relationships unlike anything else. Use the program in a group or one-on-one. Either way, it’s the most efficient and effective way to engage new employees and ensure their success.

This CD includes reproducible Employee Workbook

The Employee Workbook includes all the learning assignments, activities and self-check questions organized in three modules:

Getting Started introduces the employee to the organization, benefits, pay system and critical policies and procedures

Getting Knowledgeable focuses on the employee’s role and learning more about the organization

Getting Connected explains long-range goals and strategic plans of the organization and how the employee can grow and develop in their roles

The Manager’s Guide contains instructions, prepared questions and other supporting documents to guide the manager in leading the follow-up discussions. It includes:

The plan and overview for the complete orientation program

Scheduling forms and completion checklists which can serve as the official record of the orientation training

A learning path for each chapter, including the complete set of learning assignments and the learning objectives for that chapter

A complete agenda for each meeting with the employee

Instructions for how each learning assignment is to be completed

With Orientation Express, the next time a new hire arrives the self-study orientation can begin.

TopTen Tr Trends.jpg

Top Ten Training Trends for 2013

HumaNext uses a unique way to determine the top ten training trends of the year. We do not use surveys or polls. We look for the areas in which companies invest their money by buying training programs and tools that address these issues. Because at HumaNext we offer over 1000 products, from training programs and videos, to online courses, off-the-shelf-packages and onsite workshops, we are able to develop a good idea of the kind of topics in which companies and consultants spend most of their money. We also monitor customers’ inquiries and requests for products we might not have, helping us gauge future needs and trends. Based on this approach, here are the top ten training topics and trends we expect for 2013, together with the programs that correspond to them:

  1. Employee Engagement: Organizations will continue to look for training programs that help them inspire employee engagement during this difficult global economy. Visit: http://www.humanext.com/employee-engagement.html  
  2. Emotional Intelligence: This is still an area where we see a growing demand. A growing number of consultants and trainers are showing interest in helping people acquire emotional intelligence skills at work. HumaNext offers certification on EQ: http://www.humanext.com/eq-certification.html
  3. Innovation: Many organizations are implementing innovation programs and are seeking resources to help their managers think more creatively. Innovation is becoming what quality used to be: a key competitive weapon. See our creativity page: http://www.humanext.com/creativity.html
  4. Leadership: Tough times demand bold and effective leadership, hence the expected interest in fresh leadership programs that offer more flexible and innovative leadership development. See “The Coaching Leader- Work as Sports: http://www.humanext.com/work-as-sports.html
  5. Diversity, Inclusion and Generations at Work: Diversity is an old topic that is enjoying a revival of interest by focusing on new areas of diversity such as generational diversity (the four generations in the workplace), gender diversity, sexual orientation, and special abilities and disabilities. HumaNext offers certification in diversity and inclusion: http://www.humanext.com/diversity.html
  6. Cultural Competence: Cross Cultural training is enjoying a renewed interest because of the continued global war on terror, wars in foreign countries and cultures, and the forces of economic globalization. HumaNext offers certification: http://www.humanext.com/diversity-certification.html
  7. Mentoring and Coaching: We see a continuing interest in these two areas. Many organizations are introducing mentoring initiatives and are looking for tools to help them. In the coaching field, many consultants, coaches, and training departments continue to show a need to train managers on coaching skills. See our Mentoring / Coaching page: http://www.humanext.com/coaching-mentoring.html
  8. Train the Trainer: This is an old area where companies need to train their new trainers or train their managers to facilitate learning. The need is for new more effective and exciting ways of doing this. HumaNext Heart & Mind Learning methodology was created to add more power and excitement to the design and delivery of training, helping many trainers and consultants in this area: http://www.humanext.com/heart-and-mind-learning.html
  9. Online Instructor-Led Learning: With self-learning online courses everywhere, a related area that offers instructor-facilitated online courses is enjoying an increased attention. It seems that some learners, particularly the young, intensely social generations X and Y, prefer the human interaction offered by this type of online courses. HumaNext is expanding its offerings in this area. Visit: http://www.ed2go.com/humanext/
  10. Compliance and Ethics: We continue to see a strong need for training in these areas, as a result of the belief that the economic crisis has been created in part by weak oversight and compliance, as well as unethical business practices by some executives. Visit: http://videos4training.com/ethics-training-videos.html

The contributors address the many factors that affect how well the people and process react when brought together and how they function as a singular entity to accomplish a task.

The Annual is divided into four sections: Experiential Learning Activities (ELAs); Editor's Choice; Inventories, Questionnaires, and Surveys; and Articles and Discussion Resources. The fourth section, Editor's Choice, includes cutting edge material to help trainers stay on top of the key trends in the field.

ELAs are the mainstay of the Annual. The activities are presented as complete and ready-to-use training designs. You'll find ELAs from top training leaders: Kris Downing, Joanne Sujansky and Jan Ferri-Reed.

The instrument section introduces reliable survey and assessment tools for gathering and sharing data on aspects of change and leadership best practices.

The articles section presents the best current thinking about training. Use these for your own professional development or as a lecture resource within your trainings. Must-haves in this section include articles by Leonard D. Goodstein and Eric P. Prien as well as Prakash K. Nair and Toby M. Egan that address the organizational dynamics theme. The depth and breadth of available resources—new content is added to the Annual each year—ensures a steady stream of contemporary knowledge and tools. Use the Annual to keep on top of developments within the training and HR profession, dip into the content for an activity or instrument that targets a specific performance problem, combine activities to create an entire development program, or learn how others in the profession are tackling the ever-increasing challenges of building and developing a capable and productive workforce.

The materials--articles, experiential learning activities and instruments--can be fully reproduced for training purposes from the accompanying CD-ROM.
