Mandi Ellefson's guest is Kristen Gallagher, founder and CEO of Edify, the frictionless way to onboard software engineers. Edify functionally tailors onboarding to each client's teams, which works to attract, keep, and grow great employees while helping them get back the time they need. You'll hear Mandi and Kristen talk about: One of the top reasons for team dysfunction is that context isn't being shared properly, Kristen says. In their desire to be transparent, a lot of business owners and executives are sharing a lot of information, but not everybody in the organization has the context they need to properly interpret it. This ends up causing more conflict in the team than you might expect. [3:27] Kristen shares what a new hire's experience should be like on their first day. [13:29] “The high failure rate for hiring could be prevented if people took the time to outline their expectations,” Kristen advises. In the onboarding process, you should have a checklist of what you require a new hire to do and what success looks like. [23:06] Kristen gives insights into an effective hiring process. “Hiring for a small business is going to look different than for a large business.” Employees going into large businesses with prolific track records have had large support systems at other large businesses, and there is no guarantee that they can achieve the same results doing it all by themselves. [27:39] Mandi and Kristen discuss the importance of a cool-off period. When circumstances occur that trigger your emotions, you shouldn't react immediately. Take time to get out of the emotional high and reflect on the situation - you don't want to burn your bridges.

And the answer to that question, how should I manage the onboarding of my own managers better, is by going around to the rest of the managers in your company, similar to the tip I offered with new hires, figuring out what they needed when they got started. Making that checklist for yourself. And then as you think about the kinds of tacit knowledge, the things that are in your head as a business owner, what kinds of things does the manager not know that you know about the ropes, say, learning the ropes part. And write those things into the checklist as well. So, I think that’s a really important question and a pretty easy answer as well.” – Kristen Gallagher Resources|Links Link:  MVP Onboarding For The 97% of Startups Who Have None Connect with Kristen Gallagher:  Website:  http://www.edifyedu.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/edifyedu/  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/edifyedu/

When a new employee joins a software company, it is often unclear where that employee should begin. Do they have a mentor? What are they working on? What are the expectations for how fast that employee should be contributing? The early period of employment is often referred to as “onboarding.” During the onboarding period, an The post Technical Onboarding with Kristen Gallagher appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Today, I'm talking with Kristen Gallagher, the founder and CEO of Edify, a learning strategy firm that removes the employee development challenges from scaling a startup. As you know, hiring is one of the hardest jobs a founder has. Sure, posting to a job board and finding somebody that checks the boxes isn't complicated, but finding and attracting the right person for your team is anything but easy. Not only that, but once you've found that person, it's then on you to get them up to speed effectively. And frankly, this is a place where most early-stage startups are completely dropping the ball. Even at later-stage companies, this crucial part of the process isn't paid enough attention to. In our chat, Kristen dives into the pains of onboarding and how companies of any size can build an effective onboarding program. If you're hiring 10 employees a month, you need something dramatically different than somebody making 1 or 2 hires a year, but you both need a plan and Kristen lays out how to build one that's right for you. This episode is filled with actionable onboarding advice, but as she prepares for a sabbatical she's done a lot of reflecting and we get into some of her own challenges as a founder, so this episode really covers all the bases.

When you’re trying to scale, one of the biggest challenges you face is bringing on new team members. Chances are you’ll face a high turnover rate as you figure out what roles you need to fill and the type of person who should fill it. But what if it’s YOUR fault that a new hire isn’t living up to your expectations? Today, Mandi and Kristen talk about the real cost of bad onboarding and how to do it better.  Transparency is something leaders and managers want, but too much transparency, especially without context, is a huge problem. Your employees might not understand or might get the wrong message when they don’t have the context with which to process the information you give them about the company, strategy, and actions. A great example is when a CEO talks to a low-level employee about spending thousands of dollars on a webinar or piece of equipment. That dollar amount could be a sizable portion of their salary, so it can cause resentment. The employee doesn’t see the bigger picture in the same was a CEO does. Poor onboarding can cause issues before an employee even gets started, and this is a strong bias for Kristen. New team members need education, information, and time to get to know the people and the organization. What does your onboarding look like? According to Kristen, it should look like a 3-layer cake. The top of the cake is company onboarding. It’s the typical thing you’d think of: welcome to the company, here’s your desk, the programs you use, etc. It’s all very basic stuff – important, but not enough to do the job well. The second layer of the cake is understanding teams or departments, and how they work together. And the third layer is projects or sub-divisions within teams. How much time should you spend on onboarding? For the first layer, company onboarding, it starts the minute the new hire is official, and 1-2 days intensive when they start. The rest of the onboarding can take up to a year. But the most important part of onboarding is the first 30 days, and Kristen explains why. What about distributed teams and contractors? The prevalence of small businesses hiring employees across the country and the world is growing, and remote onboarding presents its own set of challenges. Kristen shares some best practices on how to successfully onboard new team members using virtual tools. Kristen shares the story of how one of her recent hires was a total failure, but not because of the person. Kristen realized that she didn’t communicate the things she needed to early on, and she shares exactly what she should have done – and what you should be doing with every new hire. Do you want to know the REAL cost of bad onboarding? If a team member is leaving within 12-18 months of being hired, it actually costs you 3.5 times their salary. It’s a shocking number, and Kristen explains why it’s so high, including the hidden costs you haven’t even considered. Hiring for a small and a large company is very different. Kristen believes that, for companies of 50 people or less, you’ll even be hiring a different type of person. Consider: a stellar marketer with Nike had a much different support system (copywriters, strategists, designers) than what they would have at a small company. If you’ve onboarded properly, but the contractor is still dead weight, a small business absolutely cannot afford to keep them on. Mandi poses the questions: how do you identify when that person needs to go and what is the process to let them know the standard? Kristen shares the story of one of her own contractors who she enjoyed working with and changed her processes for, but who still couldn’t get the job done. Kristen shares her lessons from that experience and the way she handles things differently now. The Hands-OFF CEO Podcast We hope you enjoyed this episode!
