The purpose of this survey is to gather insights from HR managers on the issues related to new employees taking too long to acclimate to the work environment. The survey aims to understand the reasons behind the delayed productivity of new employees, the effectiveness of the current training programs, and the common challenges faced by new hires during their onboarding process.

We would like to also validate a program we have called 'Up2Speed - getting new hires to hit the ground running and productive.' You can see more information in the following website. https://jordanimutan.com/up2speed/

In the meantime, by gathering this information, we can identify or validate the gaps in the current onboarding process and develop a more effective training program that helps new employees bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical requirements. The insights gathered from the survey will help us update and share our program that focuses on developing the necessary skills for success in the workplace, such as communication, problem-solving, and time management.

Furthermore, the results of the survey will provide valuable insights to HR managers and organizations on the effectiveness of their current training programs and areas for improvement. This will enable organizations to optimize their onboarding process, improve employee morale and satisfaction, and increase retention rates.

Therefore, we encourage HR managers and company owners to take the time to complete this survey to help us gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by new employees during the onboarding process, and to identify ways to improve the overall effectiveness of the training program.
