Orientation is the process of introducing new employees to their work environment and to the company. This process typically includes an overview of the company's history, culture, and mission, as well as a tour of the workplace. New employees are also typically given a overview of their job duties and expectations. #orientation #newjoiners #newjourney #yourmillenniumjourney

Onboarding someone into your team is easy, but what happens when it's done at a regional level? Before all the suppliers jump in offering their services, let me be clear: we are not talking about digital tools (sorry! 😏). This week, we welcomed three new GMs into the IHG family, and their onboarding process led me to reflect on a couple of learnings: 1. It is important to present the structure behind the machine. This will help them understand the 'why' behind major actions and, most importantly, project the bigger picture! 🌍 2. Not everything is the Line Manager's responsibility. When somebody new arrives, we are accountable for welcoming this person on a personal and professional level. We are one team. 💪 3. There is a lot to learn during the onboarding period, so the agenda should focus on the newcomers' needs, not the other way around. Being realistic about deadlines and performance helps avoid unnecessary pressure in the early days. ⌛ 4. Newcomers are great assets to help us improve our ways of working. We should always aim for the best instead of presenting the pitfalls and challenges right away. 📈 5. The most important message to convey during onboarding is: we are here for you. Every newcomer starts with the urge to deliver, and they can easily fall into the trap of trying to do everything on their own. We need to set them up for success! 🎖 Welcome Pierre-Louis Renou, Simone Farci, CHA, and Nikos! We are very happy to have you with us! 🧡 --- #ihg #onboarding #5tipspeople #ihglife #humanressorces #leaderhip --- 📸 Onboarding session with the LT Team!

As the year kicked off, one of my resolutions was to increase my presence on LinkedIn. So here I am sitting enjoying a lazy Sunday planning my next week out and I’ve been thinking about how hotels onboard new starters. What does great look like? and why should not just in hotels but all industries have engaging organised employee onboarding? ✨ So here is a couple of my thoughts on the importance of robust employee onboarding in the dynamic world of hospitality! 🌐🛎️ In the heart of every successful hotel operation lies a dedicated and well-trained team. The journey begins with onboarding – the gateway to fostering a culture of excellence and unparalleled guest experiences. 🌟 🚀 Acceleration to Productivity: A seamless onboarding process propels new hires into their roles with confidence and efficiency. Swift integration ensures they hit the ground running, contributing to the team's success from day one. 🚀 🌐 Cultural Assimilation: Hotels are unique ecosystems with distinctive cultures. A comprehensive onboarding program is instrumental in acquainting new team members with the values, vision, and ethos of the establishment, creating a unified and harmonious workplace. 🤝 🎓 Continuous Learning: The hospitality industry evolves rapidly, demanding continuous skill development. A well-structured onboarding program provides avenues for ongoing training, ensuring that employees stay abreast of industry trends and deliver top-notch service. 📚💼 🔐 Retention and Engagement: Investing in the onboarding process is an investment in employee retention. Engaged employees are more likely to stay committed to the organization, reducing turnover costs and maintaining a skilled, motivated workforce. 💼🔒 🌟 Guest Satisfaction: Ultimately, the success of a hotel hinges on guest satisfaction.

First Impressions: From Luxury Hotels to Onboarding   Working as a Doorman at a five-star luxury hotel taught me something crucial: the first interaction sets the tone for the entire experience. This principle is just as important when welcoming new hires into a company.   In luxury hotels, we made sure guests felt recognized and valued from the moment they arrived. Rival Onboard allows companies to offer a similar level of care to new hires, ensuring they're equipped and enthusiastic to begin their journey.   Why getting onboarding right is key: Integrated Approach: Rival Onboard brings together HR, Finance, IT, and Security in one seamless system, ensuring new hires have everything they need from day one. Customized Welcome: Just like in a luxury hotel, Rival provides a personalized onboarding experience for each new hire, making them feel immediately part of the team. Simplifying Processes: With Rival Onboard, the usual paperwork headaches are minimized, making the process smoother for everyone involved. It's like ensuring that hotel guests have a seamless check-in experience. Cultural Fit: Beyond the formalities, it's about helping new hires integrate into the company culture right from the start. This fosters quicker adjustment and longer tenure.   Reflecting on my experience, the link between providing top-tier hospitality and implementing effective onboarding solutions like Rival Onboard is clear. Both aim to create memorable first impressions that pave the way for a successful and lasting relationship. Let's make every new hire's welcome as impactful as possible.   #Onboarding #NewHires #HR #RivalOnboard #WorkCulture #EmployeeExperience #HRTechnology #EmployeeOnboarding #TalentManagement #Leadership #Hospitality #CompanyCulture #Engagement #InnovationInHR #WelcomeExperience

During the hustle and bustle of summer in hotels, it's common practice for staff to undergo employee evaluations. This ensures that the right team is in place to handle the demands of the upcoming peak season.

As many in my network will know well, the hospitality landscape has evolved immensely over the past few years. Shifting consumer preferences, labour shortages, and suppressed demand for business travel are a few of the many pressures facing the industry - all while still navigating the continued financial fallout brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Take a look at this business case publish by Carpedia International on how organization can rise to meet these challenges in an ever changing and competitive business environment.

Don't underestimate the importance of onboarding new hotel staff. Those first few days and weeks are pivotal in getting new hires engaged and productive from day 1 At many hotels, onboarding might consist of little more than a basic orientation and cursory training before throwing people into the mix. But this does a disservice both to employees and the establishment itself. Employees feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, leading to higher turnover, slower service, and guests who can tell something is amiss. The data backs this up. Companies with strong onboarding programs retain 91% of their first-year workers, compared to 33% for those with weak programs. And new hires who go through structured onboarding reach full productivity 34% faster. For hotels, that translates into employees who and fully immersed in the company culture. Smooth operations and superior service follow. Word spreads. Reputations grow. The time and resources invested upfront pay back exponentially down the road. For hotels looking to boost retention, service, and loyalty, it's one of the wisest investments out there. #hoteltraining #mobilelearning #microlearning

In the fast-paced world of hospitality, where guest satisfaction is paramount, it can be easy to overlook the personal needs of employees. However, understanding and accommodating these needs is crucial for maintaining a positive workplace environment and ensuring employee well-being. Third-party hotel management companies like ProMiller believe that by recognizing employees as individuals with unique lives and needs, and by fostering open communication and providing support, organizations can create a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture.
