This document discusses the importance of providing young employees with essential business skills training through a graduate development program. It notes that many young employees leave their jobs within a year due to a lack of skills development, career progression opportunities, and engagement. The GradStart program is presented as a solution, providing comprehensive business skills training over 10 modules to help retain and engage young talent. Employers benefit from differentiated recruitment, accelerated performance, and reduced costs from avoiding employee turnover.
The document discusses the business case for strategic talent onboarding. It argues that effective onboarding leads to improved business outcomes like faster time to productivity for new hires, higher employee retention rates, and decreased costs from reducing attrition. Specifically, it notes that strategic onboarding that treats the process as ongoing rather than an event and leverages an organization's employment brand can help accelerate productivity, increase retention in the first year, and improve overall business results.

Dawson Consulting Group has researched onboarding practices for CEOs and senior executives over 20 years. They found that creating an "Assimilation Roadmap" tailored to the executive's unique leadership style and the company's culture is key. The Roadmap identifies challenges for an onboarding team to focus on, such as stakeholder misalignments and personal blind spots. Dawson then helps implement the Roadmap through reality checks, handoffs to HR, and ensuring a successful integration and long tenure for the new executive. Their research found no executives who received a customized Assimilation Roadmap left within 5 years.
This document discusses improving employee orientation programs. Current programs often fail because they lack planning, do not accurately portray job roles, and make employees feel like they don't fit in. Effective orientations get employees productive faster, improve culture fit, and increase retention. The document recommends orienting the "whole person", involving families, making the first day welcoming, and using videos and websites to provide information in an engaging way. Feedback should be gathered to continuously improve the process.
“Destination Outdoors” endeavours to provide corporate-training programmes using outdoor experiential learning. This facet deals with Experience Based Training & Development (EBTD). This experiential learning combines interactive business simulations and games with serious learning and is an extremely powerful medium for imparting training in new skills and helping individuals to improve existing ones. All this is simulated through theatre, music, adventure simulations, role plays, water, CSR & navigational simulations. The methodology is based on \'real\' experiences and moves away from the theoretical and rigid learning methods of traditionalist education and training. A "shared experience" that involves working together on tasks which are unfamiliar and which require a high degree of interdependence quickly builds trust and rapport across the group. To rely on others in ways which are not customary for individuals in a normal working environment generates mutual respect and support often far beyond anything previously experienced by colleagues in the workplace. With Destination Outdoors, you can expect to be engaged in a powerful learning process that will provide your teams with the chance to learn new skills and then to practice those skills. You can also expect to develop new methods for goal setting, building trust, creativity, customer orientation and effective communication apart from core skill sets to gain optimal performance from your associates.

Help Young Talent Develop a Professional MindsetDaniel Goleman
There is a chasm between what business leaders expect from recent graduates, and what these new hires offer. In a Hay Group study of 450 business leaders and 450 recent graduates based in India, the US, and China… a massive 76% of business leaders reported that entry-level workers and recent grads are not ready for their jobs.
In most cases, these hires are intelligent, ambitious, and technically savvy. They have proven their ability to accomplish the work. They’re committed and passionate about rising through the ranks. So what are these new professionals missing?
They’re lacking soft skills.

How to Build and Maintain a Premier OrganizationLucas Group
An important trend facing organizations across all industries is bridging the knowledge gap between outgoing employees and those who remain or are hired to fulfill their work. Despite a stubbornly persistent unemployment rate in the U.S., attracting and retaining people who can positively impact your company remains a considerable challenge to building and maintaining a premier organization. Triggered by Baby Boomer retirements, companies must develop systematic ways to attract the best, retain the best, and hold on to the knowledge that the best contribute to their organizations.
The document describes a mentoring service called The Mentor Bank that provides companies access to experienced leaders who can mentor their employees. The Mentor Bank aims to help companies address retention issues, bridge skills gaps, navigate company changes, and adapt to industry changes. It also helps prepare younger talent to step into leadership roles. The Mentor Bank is presented as a flexible, affordable alternative to traditional mentoring that can be customized to meet companies' and employees' specific challenges and needs.

This document discusses the key ingredients needed to define a company's culture code. It begins by explaining that a culture code establishes guiding values and principles that give life and meaning to an organization. It then outlines five ingredients for a strong company culture: values, people, policies, perks/benefits, and workspace. For each ingredient, it provides examples from companies like Intacct, Zappos, and Glassdoor, and gives an action plan for developing that aspect of a culture code. The overall purpose is to help organizations attract and retain top talent by establishing a unique and compelling culture.
2. Young people with the right
skills make great employees.
A graduate-style development
programme will help you recruit
and retain the very best young people.
With one in four graduate employees likely to leave
their employer within 12 months of joining, how sure
can you be that your young employees will stay with you?
Four of the top reasons that employees give for leaving their job
are the
lack of genuine interest in their development.
lack of skills development and opportunities to utilise
their skills, expertise and abilities.
lack of recognition for the contribution they make.
lack of career progression and promotion.
Providing your young employees with a graduate-style
development programme will help considerably with
addressing these issues.
It will decrease the likelihood that your young employees
will resign in the early stages of their career and
prevent the disruption and inconvenience that
that can bring to your organisation.

Differentiate
“With discussions based on real workplace
problems, the GradStart®
programme offered
a safe environment to explore and address these
issues.
It was these discussions that helped me to develop
as an individual through increased self-awareness and
a greater appreciation of my colleagues.”
Jacqui, Engineering Project Leader
“The GradStart®
programme has proved to be a great forum
for proposing and discussing workplace problems, and creating
an environment to address and explore them.”
Adrian, Account Executive
“My aim is eventually to move to management so I think what has
been most useful for me is understanding how the emotional side
works and how to interact with people on a more professional
level.”
Dexter, Engineer
“I was uncertain as to why the course was necessary
and having now experienced it, I completely
understand why many young graduates can
benefit from exactly this form of training.”
Nathan, Law Graduate
What our students’ say:
4. Financial awareness
Many experienced business people do not
understand the basics of business finance and
terminology, and struggle to understand what a
financial report is conveying.
How much more so for young employees?
It is essential that your young employees are taught
the fundamentals of business finance and key
indicators of business performance and
health, at an early stage in their
career.
Industry intelligence
Your young employees will learn about your
industry sector and competitors; look at where and
how your organisation fits in, and what drives it.
Your young employees will be challenged with the
question “where is your industry going?” and taught
how to acquire and analyse industry insight.
Interpersonal behaviour
Helping your young employees to learn
how to behave personally and professionally
with others is essential in building relationships.
Knowing how to represent themselves through the way
they dress, their attitude to work and their interaction
with others, will make them good ambassadors
for your organisation and leave a good
impression with your clients.
Problem solving
Developing confidence and learning to trust
their problem-solving abilities will help your young
employees to make good decisions, and protect
the reputation of your organisation.
Being able to analyse a situation, formulate and
consider options, then assess the merits and
risks of each option, are critical skills your
young employees will have to apply
throughout their life and career.

Modules 1-5
Personal management
Your young employees must be able to manage
themselves effectively.
Employers, like you, require that their young employees
demonstrate good time-keeping, motivation and a
‘can-do’ attitude. Without this your young
employees won’t build effective
relationships and become the
future leaders that you want.
5. Communications
The effective use of language—written,
verbal and physical—will help shape your young
employees destiny and identity, and showcase their
leadership potential.
Presenting to a large audience, developing one to one
relationships, writing reports or simply using e-mail
effectively are all skills that highly effective
leaders need.
Leadership
Understanding how leadership differs
from management by identifying and examining
the qualities and attributes of role models in leadership
will provide powerful insights for your young employees
as they develop their own leadership style and behaviours.
Leadership is responsible for change in an organisation
to help it survive and grow, and your young
employees will learn about embracing
and supporting change.
Management
Your young employees need to develop
good management skills as they are promoted
into increasingly more responsible positions within
your organisation.
Teaching them how to set objectives and goals; to plan,
estimate and monitor projects and tasks; and to
manage others will provide useful insights as
they develop their own management
style and behaviours.
Customer awareness
Knowing how the sales cycle works, and
how sales-people build relationships with clients
will help your young employees learn the difference
between gaining sales and losing them.
Learning about contractual commitments and how
to negotiate, will ensure they understand the
boundaries within which your organisation
operates profitably.
Team working
Every day your young employees interact
with other people.
Knowing how to engage and work with others
effectively and efficiently to deliver projects to
schedule will make a crucial difference to the
long term health of your organisation.

Modules 6-10
6. Employee benefits
Make engagement a priority.
How an employee feels about their job, and
how engaged they become, will depend upon a
combination of factors. This includes the value they
feel they contribute to the team, department and the
overall organisation, as well as the recognition they
receive from their peers, manager and senior executives.
It is critical that you engage your young employees in
their first year on the job.
See their self-confidence grow so they take more
initiative in the workplace.
Develop the ability to ask better, more critical
questions of the people they meet.
Develop essential skills that will form a solid
foundation on which to build their career.
Gain an understanding of leadership and how
to lead.
Increase career and promotion prospects,
and experience greater responsibility
and higher income.

Engagement
“The opportunity to examine different
scenarios and attitudes, offer perfect examples
of good and bad management, which have provided
the building blocks and guidelines to managerial
aspirations.”
Adrian, Account Executive
“Made me understand the bigger picture for my company,
and has made me see how the top positions operate and what
stresses they can be put under.”
Dexter, Engineer
“The course has certainly grown my confidence and assertiveness
in the work place.”
Bradley, Production Management Assistant
“Expanded my knowledge and awareness of the industry
sector, more than I have considered previously.”
Jacqui, Engineering Project Leader

7. Designed for young employees
GradStart® is designed for employees who
are new to the world of work. They don’t have
the benefit of your business experience, and therefore
the programme has taken this into account, and starts
from first principles.
Time and again on the GradStart® programme we have
found that young employees don’t know a PESTLE
analysis from a DISC profile, or Critical Path
Analysis from a Balance sheet, so the
programme has been carefully
designed with this in mind.
Comprehensive solution
Save effort, time and money.
No need to have the HR/L&D people who can
research and prepare a training plan made up of multiple
business skills courses. Neither do you need the expertise
to develop and deliver an internal programme.
The GradStart® programme is a comprehensive solution.
It covers everything your young employees need to
know about business skills. It does so in
less time and at lower cost than
other business skills courses.
Delivered from experience
Our GradStart® instructors have decades
of business experience and challenges, and an
abundance of scenarios and solutions which they
share in the classroom.
They were all once young employees themselves, and
later on managers of young employees.
Our instructors cite their personal business
‘war’ stories as examples to illustrate their
point, and get their message across.
Low impact high intensity
Graduates of the GradStart® programme
agree that conducting each day-long module
approximately one month apart provides them the
optimal time for pre-session preparation and post-
session consolidation, without impacting their
today-to-today business duties.
Each session is intensive to be able to delve sufficiently
into the module topics and give your young
employees a good understanding of
essential business tools
and techniques.
Broadening their horizons
Clients tell us that one of the best things
about the GradStart® programme is the opportunity
for their young employees to learn with a cohort who
are going through similar experiences.
By sharing their experiences, your young employees
grow in confidence in the knowledge that they are
not alone. Your young employees will learn
techniques for handling those
experiences better in future.
