From Hire to Impact: The Case for Outsourcing Leader Assimilation

There’s no doubt that companies with structured onboarding have an advantage.

Prioritizing assimilation in your onboarding, which is not only necessary for new hires but is crucial for new managers, sets a further advantage. 

But what are the advantages of outsourcing your assimilation?

  1. Reduced administrative tasks and increased efficiency:
    Onboarding new leaders can be taxing for everyone involved. Outsourcing can minimize onboarding tasks like scheduling, tracking, and reporting, which can improve internal HR efficiency (and cost savings) by focusing on more strategic tasks like talent acquisition and employee development. 

  2. Gives support without taking support:
    Similarly, by outsourcing assimilation, the hiring manager and internal teams can concentrate on their own roles and to-do lists (freeing up valuable time and resources), as well as support their new hire with check-ins, coaching, and introductions to the who's who of the organization.

  3. Expert insight:
    Specialized onboarding providers bring their wealth of experience and knowledge of best practices, making sure your onboarding process is successful.

  4. Scalability:
    When hiring needs fluctuate, outsourcing allows companies to easily scale their onboarding capacity up or down. 

  5. Improved consistency:
    Outsourcing can streamline the assimilation process by utilizing proven procedures and technology, launching leaders faster from jump and alleviates inconsistent experiences in case of internal HR turnover.

  6. Empowers taking initiative:
    Putting the leader in the driver's seat of their assimilation through outsourced onboarding gives them the tools (and the confidence) they need to seek out their own answers, chart their course, build relationships, and start off on the right foot from jump.

We encourage managers and leaders to be capable and comfortable in delegating. So why differentiate between delegation and outsourcing? The advantages of both are an optimized workflow.
