"Onboarding is the great unspoken problem that probably haunts many businesses but especially scale ups. This book is thoroughly researched and very level headed, reminiscent in some ways of another definitive management book Good to Great. DR. JEMMA GREEN Cofounder & Chair Powerledger In an era where competition for skilled staff has never been fiercer and the expectations of staff on companies has never been higher, onboarding and retention strategies are more important now than ever. By implementing Brad's onboarding strategies outlined in this book our team retention for new starters within the first 12 months doubled which had a huge impact on the culture of Aventus and ultimately our financial results. This book is a must read for any leader or manager looking to create a high performance and winning culture. DARREN HOLLAND CEO Aventus Effective onboarding new team members is the starting point of building a great organization. Yet most companies do a terrible job of it. Brad outlines the cultural and financial costs then delivers a thorough approach for getting it right and a plan for how to implement it in your organization. Your winning team starts here. DR KAIHAN KRIPPENDORFF Founder Outthinker & author of Outthink the Competition & Hide a Dagger Behind a Smile Onboarding is one of the biggest challenges leaders face as they run a growing organization. Many times we confuse productivity and busyness. The goal is productive. Brad details the roadmap to go from hire to productive in a simple and easy to understand way. He not only justifies the investment in good onboarding but helps readers see the real cost of poor onboarding. This book is a must read for any manager who hires people for their team. Many HR professionals can gain a powerful process for their organization and this is not taught anywhere in business education. Brad's process will improve the likelihood of success for new hires and have a positive impact on the team and company. Brad has nailed it again. MICHAEL MIRAU CEO & Founder of Tribute Printing I instantly bought 100 copies to give to every manager I know. As a fast-growing company, the practical steps Brad provides in Onboarded have been a game-changer. Given more than 80% of our spend is on people, we can't afford unproductive new hires. Onboarded has given both us and the new starter ultra-clarity on what success is - which has been very motivating for them to work towards. We love the simple blueprint to work out if someone is a successful fit within 90 days which has been critical to expand our high-performing team! MICHAEL MOMSEN Founder & CEO Zipline.io Brad Giles has made impossible for every leader to ignore the huge pile of elephant poop in the living room - the fact that almost all companies do a rotten job of onboarding new employees, and consequently new employees are more likely to underperform and quit. Brad outlines the extent of the problem, identifies what to do (and how and when), and presents a compelling calendar, a roadmap for any leader to follow. Additionally, he offers ""helpful hints,"" such as assign an onboarding ""buddy,"" responsible for tracking and implementing steps that many others should perform. DR BRAD SMART CEO Topgrading Inc & author Topgrading This book could not have been better timed. This is a must-read for all leaders right now! Great teams is how you win the game! SHANNON SUSKO Founder & CEO Metronomics Author Metronome Effect, 3HAG WAY & Metronomics"
