While an organization cannot completely rid the chance of a bad hire , it’s onboarding that can make or break the success of a candidate. Often times, the strategy is simply, “Here is your desk, get to work,” along with the misconception that you should throw new employees in at the deep end. The new hire then struggles to stay afloat, keeping them from excelling in this new role.

Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes.

Without culture, a company has no way of identifying, exemplifying, and practicing the values, attitudes, standards, and beliefs that define goals and characterize members.

They’re meaning-makers. They’re experience-seekers. And now, they make up a higher proportion of the workforce than any other generation.

My nephew is in the final throes of deciding where he will matriculate. I remember, vaguely, being 17 and deciding on colleges, and it was a much different process back then. I loosely decided where I wanted to go geographically. I had a very vague idea of what I might want to pursue. Now, over 20 years from my graduation, I can see the spark of my current career, but I wasn’t blessed with knowing what I wanted from the start.
