PowerStart Clients Experience Many Advantages Over Other New Leader Onboarding Approaches.
The following are some of the pluses:
- Most Cost-Effective Approach To Ensure The Success of Newly Placed Leaders
The online PowerStart Onboarding program is the most cost-effective way to ensure the success of newly placed leaders. Its e-learning content is based on research-identified common missteps and mistakes that ALL newly placed leaders are at risk of making. Following the program’s guidance ensures the new leader will successfully navigate those risks without the high cost of a personal coach.
- Extensive Track Record In Diverse Businesses Across U.S.
The program’s guidance has an extensive track record of success, having been used for years in diverse businesses across the U.S. That record includes more than 1000 leaders and managers at all organizational levels, who have gained significant value from following the program’s expert advice, and using its best practice approaches, management skills, and customized onboarding tools.
- E-Learning Supported By An Onboarding Coach
Unique in e-learning programs, PowerStart comes with live support from an expert onboarding coach (included in the license fee). The coach helps ensure the program is used in a way that maximizes its value to the client and its newly placed leader.
- Produces Accelerated Business Results
The program was developed primarily to provide self-directed onboarding guidance. While doing that, it also provides management skills development and performance management. That combination produces accelerated business results, adding to its value to the new manager and the client organization.
- Support Network Members Also Gain Value
The program provides resources that make it time-efficient and easy for the new leader’s support members (boss and HR advisor or mentor, if providing support) to align their input with the program’s guidance. A significant added value is the best practices refresher and skills development gained by support network members from their use of the program.
- Content Is Current And Developed By Experts
PowerStart has current content developed by industry experts. It provides e-learning most organizations do not already have available in their leadership development offering. (E.g. Managing from a Distance, Leading a Multigenerational Workforce).
- A Learning Management System With Built-In Progress Tracking And Support Communications
Developed as a Learning Management System, PowerStart has built-in progress tracking automated emails. Plus, it has automated course-subject communications to the boss, others in the support network, and the new manager. These built-in functions create frequent opportunities for the boss and other supporters to reinforce the program’s use and add to its value.
- Emotional Intelligence Content Is A Major Success Factor
The PowerStart content is focused on emotional intelligence. EQ is rare, and as such, its development and use is highly valued as a major success factor for managers and leaders.
- Meets The Expectations Of Millennials And GenXers
PowerStart was developed to meet the onboarding-guidance needs of all newly placed managers and leaders from mature senior executives to less experienced lower-level managers. In addition, it meets the expectations of Millennials and GenXers for their professional development. As a result, our clients gain an advantage in recruiting and retaining talent within these generations.
