  1. Onboarding New Employees FAST: Top 10 Tips (646) 504-0452 | www.virtualassistantisrael.com

  2. Introduction • Admitting you need help is hard. Trusting a new employee to help you is even harder. • I have created a list of tips a manager can use to effectively teach a new hire the policies and procedures of the company.

  3. Create clear training manuals • Before an employee starts working on the company interface, it is always a good idea to give her a training manual. • Make sure the manual has step-by-step instructions with screen-shots and explanations.

  4. Make video recordings • Employees can follow the videos step by step while doing the actions on their own computer. • When making a video make sure you have someone who can speak clearly and knows the material.

  5. Go through the process with the employee • After the employee has had a chance to go through the material, set up a time for a training. • During this training you should have the employee “train” you as if you do not know the program. • The best way to know if an employee knows the program is if she can teach it to someone else.

  6. Start the new employee off slowly • Don’t try to teach them everything all at once. • The best thing to do is to give the new employee one or two things to learn at a time.

  7. Play to the employee’s strengths • Find out what a new employee’s strengths are and give her tasks that utilize those strengths, especially at the beginning. • This will enable the employee to feel comfortable and gain self-confidence.

  8. Be available • Everybody has questions at the beginning, and everyone learns at their own pace. • I always find that the more questions an employee asks at the beginning, the faster he learns the process.

  9. Be patient • Every person learns at his own pace. • Listen to his questions and remember this is the first time he might be doing something that you have done for months, maybe even years.

  10. Give feedback • Let the new employee know how she is doing and give her constructive criticism.

  11. Give deadlines and goals • Once I had just started a new job. My boss said that in three weeks she would be going on vacation and that I would be ready to take over while she was gone. I was EXTREMELY nervous and felt completely overwhelmed. That deadline actually motivated me. • Having a deadline pushed me to learn the job with a laser focus.

  12. Introduce the new employee around the office • You might not always be available to provide answers to questions the new hire might have. Introduce him to people who can help him.

  13. Conclusion • Following these tips will help the new hire learn effectively, but will help you, as the manager, teach new hires from all different backgrounds and learning styles. • You will increase the rate at which you will be able to rely on your new employee, who now feels fully comfortable with the tasks assigned.
