If this is just what you’re going through, you need some direction. Even after outing in countless hours of planning and executing, if nothing’s going your way, you need to adopt a new system, one that can deliver the perfect solution for your needs. Build a support process If you think having a support process in place isn’t a good choice,we’ll gladly help you know that it may be a crazy, but not a bad choice. You’ll certainly be facing a ton of questions, and failures in expectations even after you’ve tested things over and over again. But, what you need here is patience. Gather up enough resources to be able to walk through the journey. Also, provide frequent updates that offer tips, tricks, and best practices. Communicate frequently and effectively

2. For the first few weeks, it is advisable to meet every day to review how things are working out, and send out a daily status report, which can be rolled up after a week into a weekly executive report. This kind of regular communication will make things easier, and stabilize the system. Once the new system is in place, you can then develop a communication plan that doesn’t require everyday meetings, but can be timed in a way to keep the users engaged and reported periodically. Keep upgrading consistently Have you included every possible feature and option into your talent acquisition plan? Have your expanded to additional regions or countries, or added new languages? Are there any additional components you want to add, those that you haven’t been able to add in your initial implementation? Answer all these questions, make a list, and build a road map of what you want to do and when. Plan up 2-3 upgrades every year; but before you do so, ensure to have the time and resources to execute the elevations. Provide training to both the old and new When you plan a training program, you’re more likely to focus on designing a plan for new hires coming into the organization, isn’t it? But, don’t just stop there. Move further to provide training for existing users too. Create short videos to provide additional training at regular intervals. You can link to all such resources right from your talent acquisition or learning management system. Measure, understand, and improve You need to keep measuring the success of your new system implementation. Identify the candidate drop-off rates, retention rates, and every feedback that’s coming your way. All of this will help you understand where and how you need to improve, on what you’ve already done. After all, your system shouldn’t be the same every year; it should evolve over time.
