I’m onboarding a new employee.
In the past, I would ask the person to watch videos, take certifications, and listen to me talk. This time it would be different.
I asked the person to do several small tasks. Every task had an objective and a measurable outcome.
The tasks are simple; they don’t require advanced experience. Like stepping stones, each task builds upon the other in complexity and scope. By the end of week 1, the new employee developed a strong idea our business, how it works, and how their work contributes.
What if other corporate trainings more like that?
