👋 We spend too much time focusing on how to onboard employees. 👋 We put too much weight on exit interviews as folks depart. If we really want to center employee development and engagement, let’s instead pivot to 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙤𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 – intentional knowledge building and support that extends well beyond someone’s first few weeks on the job – and 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙨 – conversations with your existing team members about what gets them excited, what leaves them feeling meh, and what will keep them gladly showing up to work day in and day out. It’s easy to focus on the beginning and end of an employee’s life cycle, but the middle is where the magic 🪄 happens. #WorkplaceWellbeing #Everboarding #StayInterviews #EmployeeEngagement
EVERBOARDING -- I love it. Get a book out on this and we'll see you on the TED stage.
Wow! Shared this with my team and colleagues. We have a process that assesses annual performance, but it is leader driven. We need to be more intentional in our efforts to engage our employees and understand what they need if we want an engaged and committed workforce. Thank you for sharing!
I love “everboarding” ;)
So true! Never thought about it that way.

6moThis really hit me, Sarah! In the 20+ years I’ve been in corporate America, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything that resembled “everboarding.” However, how awesome would it be to be a part of something like that!!
