To achieve onboarding success, the supervisor should use strategies that focus on the long-term
assimilation of an employee. Some key indicators of employee engagement and job satisfaction include
retention, positive employee morale, engagement in activities/committees, and pride in working for the
State. Activities to assist you with increasing employee engagement:
- Meet on a regular basis with the employee to provide on-going feedback, coaching and mentoring.
- Clarify roles, responsibilities and expectations as needed.
- Acknowledge achievements and successes.
- Ensure that all mandatory training has been completed.
- Follow up with the employee’s buddy to review any concerns or needs.
- Ensure the employee has scheduled a follow-up with Human Resources within his/her first 60 days on the job.
- Set employee goals.
- Create and update personal/professional development plan on a regular basis.
- Encourage employee participation in committees or other Department or Agency initiatives.
- Complete employee probationary evaluation on or before the employee’s sixth month anniversary (for classified employees).
