    Objective: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on manager onboarding best practices and their impact on turnover intention, knowledge, and confidence to lead teams in primary healthcare settings. Background: Primary care onboarding is often insufficient due to competing operational priorities, time constraints, lack of mentorship, and cost. With primary care increasingly the setting for affordable, coordinated, end-to-end patient care, primary care managers must be well-prepared to lead the care team. Methods: A review of the literature identified best onboarding practices associated with job satisfaction and turnover, reduced time to proficiency, increased knowledge, and confidence to lead. Findings: Appropriate onboarding can shorten the new manager’s time to proficiency, increase job satisfaction, and reduce turnover. Content-specific to onboarding managers in the primary care setting was not found. Conclusion: Strong connections exist between structured onboarding practices and improved job satisfaction, retention, and performance. Empirical research is needed to validate best practices and their impact on outcomes, specifically, role-specific onboarding for managers in primary care

    Influence of Working from Home Culture on the Effectiveness of Virtual Onboarding of New Employees

    Get PDF
    The COVID-19 pandemic remains a global disaster with extraordinary consequences for corporations and their people. The stresses of working from home during a pandemic are heightened for newbies entering new occupations and organizations. To address the issues concerning the rapid adoption of virtual onboarding in employment relations and human resource management practices, the paper seeks to determine whether there is a positive relationship between online orientation and training and holistic support with virtual onboarding in the context of multinational companies operating in Bangladesh. A cross-sectional survey of 110 individuals of diverse profiles from various multinational companies (MNCs) in Bangladesh is undertaken using Google Forms. The data was analyzed using SPSS 26.0. It was discovered that online orientation, online training, and holistic support play an important part in carrying out a successful virtual onboarding process for newcomers working from home. It was also found that having a strong relationship with peers, and senior coworkers is a key aspect of obtaining the assistance that new employees require in the workplace as they start. It is expected that the managers in the MNCs may regain workers' trust by strengthening their virtual or onboarding operations as a whole. The frameworks offered can guide managers in better responding to employees' needs. The successful use of virtual onboarding among the MNCs in Bangladesh is a little-explored research domain. The study findings address the gap by highlighting its effectiveness and encouraging the implication of virtual onboarding of the employees working from home in the MNCs. The study does not rule out the potential of other factors influencing virtual onboarding effectiveness, nor focus on any particular professional groups. The online survey makes it difficult to provide information on the sample's representativeness. Further research and inquiry are required to confirm the findings

    Background: Primary care (PC) is increasingly the setting for affordable, coordinated, end-to-end patient care, with PC managers in charge of organizational performance. While PC managers are central to high-functioning teams, they often receive inadequate onboarding. Local Problem: Primary care onboarding competes with other operational priorities and faces time constraints, lack of mentorship, and cost. Context: At an integrated healthcare system, a need was identified to develop structured, role-specific onboarding for newly hired PC managers to improve knowledge and confidence to lead. Interventions: Bauer’s Four Cs framework for onboarding guided the development of a manager onboarding program for 12 new PC managers. Content drew on best practices from the literature and was informed by the knowledge gap discovered through a needs assessment. Outcome Measures: Knowledge, confidence to lead, and intent to stay were chosen to assess the impact of onboarding on the competencies of new PC managers to be successful in their roles. The metrics were percent change from pre- to post-implementation. Data to evaluate outcomes were obtained from the pre- and post-intervention surveys. Results: Confidence to lead increased 13% (t(21) = 2.33, p = .03); knowledge increased 29% ((t(21) = 2.94, p = .01). Intent to stay in the role did not show a significant increase. Conclusions: Evidence from the literature and the project results suggest strong connections between structured onboarding practices for new managers and preparedness to lead high-functioning teams. Empirical research is needed to examine the implications of onboarding relative to hire date on intent to stay in the role

    Artificial Socialization? How Artificial Intelligence Applications Can Shape A New Era of Employee Onboarding Practices

    Get PDF
    Onboarding has always emphasized personal contact with new employees. Excellent onboarding can, for instance, extend an employee's stay, and improve loyalty. Even in a physical setting, the onboarding process is demanding for the newcomer and the onboarding organization. However, COVID-19 has made this process even more challenging by forcing a rapid shift from offline to online organizational onboarding practices. Organizations are adopting new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), to support work processes during the pandemic, which could shape a new era of work practices. However, it has not been studied how AI applications can or should support onboarding. Therefore, our research conducts a literature review on current onboarding practices and uses expert interviews to evaluate AI's potential and pitfalls for each action. We contribute to the literature by presenting a holistic state-of-the-art picture of onboarding practices and evaluating potential application areas of AI in the onboarding process

    The telework pet scale: Development and psychometric properties

    Get PDF
    This study intended to develop and validate the Telework Pet Scale (TPS). This measure aims to evaluate relevant aspects of the e-working experience related to the human-animal bond. We conducted four studies. First, we conducted a study to develop the scale, then we conducted another one to explore its factorial structure (N=359). A third study served to analyze its internal validity and reliability (N=290). A fourth study analyzed the criterion validity of the TPS, by exploring its correlations with measures of health, affect, satisfaction, and performance (N= 320 teleworkers). The findings revealed that the 8-item scale accounted for a unique factor and that it is a reliable measure. Moreover, the results also showed that the scale was significantly related to measures of health, affect, satisfaction, and performance. The cross-sectional nature of the four studies is a limitation. The TPS completes a gap in the research by providing a measure that may support organizations to evaluate and support teleworkers’ needs and their subsequent satisfaction while teleworking. This research gives a step forward in the knowledge about telework and pet-owners perceived experience of it.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Key Elements For A Successful Employee Onboarding Program

    Get PDF
    This capstone focuses on examining key elements of employee-onboarding success in organizations. From the literature, the author extracted three crucial factors contributing to effective onboarding models, Relationship-Building, Organizational Support, and Communication, and proposed a hypothesis: These three key elements are contributing to onboarding success. Then, the author identified four outstanding employee onboarding models from Netflix, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google, by using the criteria from several human resource specialized websites. In the analysis, the author examined the three elements in the four onboarding models and found out that all the factors contributed to employee onboarding success individually and collectively. Furthermore, the author proposed that “People” is a core value of a successful employee onboarding process for organizations. This paper strongly suggests that it would be worth pursuing with a larger study to examine the three elements and extract more factors

    Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater: Comments on "Recent Developments in PLS"

    Evermann and Rönkkö aim to present an overview of recent advances in PLS, and while some advances are described with several useful recommendations, we argue that their article does not fully deliver on its promise. In this response, we argue that their position presents an unbalanced view, ignores several methodological advances by IS scholars. We note that several recommendations are so stringent that implementing that there are philosophical and practical differences that are insufficiently taken into account. Further, several studies that highlight the shortcomings of PLS seem to be based on specially designed cases that are not necessarily representative of typical use of PLS. In our response, we call for a more balanced debate that takes into consideration different perspectives and that studies of the performance of PLS are conducted fairly. While we do not disagree with E&R’s recommendations, the implementation of those is challenged by a lack of tool support, and we observe that besides scholars using PLS, editors and reviewers also have a responsibility to be cognizant of methodological advances. We commend E&R for their efforts in studying the limitations of PLS which have spurred several methodological advances, but also caution that we should not ‘throw the baby out with the bathwater,” by discarding PLS for its known limitations
