BEND, Ore. -- (November 17, 2010) -- OnBoard Yourself is seeking 25 Gen Y new hires and their supervisors to participate in a six-month study on the use of e-learning technologies to help Gen Ys get themselves up to speed in their new job.
Study participants will receive:
- Free use of the OnBoard Yourself structured e-learning program.
- Monthly coaching sessions for both supervisors and millennial new hires.
- Executive presentations of the study findings.
OnBoard Yourself CEO Todd Hudson says that the goal is to cost effectively get Gen Y new hires up to speed faster and with fewer mistakes and without stressing their busy supervisors.
“Companies are really struggling to onboard this highly facilitated, digital generation,” says OnBoard Yourself CEO Todd Hudson. “This study aims to test and refine a whole new process of onboarding that focuses on teaching millennials how to take charge of getting themselves up to speed while reducing the hand-holding burden on the supervisors and HR staff who manage them.”
The OnBoard Yourself e-learning program is based on the principles of Maverick Institute LEAN Learning which seeks to greatly improve the ROI of training by removing waste from the learning process and maximizing what measurably works.
OnBoard Yourself supports Gen Y new hires throughout the first year in their new job. It focuses on helping millennials learn the way they naturally do: via self-directed e-learning resources in a structured, time-staged program, while teaching them new skills for self-motivation and self-direction.
The program incorporates e-learning courses, articles, vidcasts, podcasts and screencasts in three components.
- My Personal OnBoarding Plan: Teaches Gen Y new hires how to work with their supervisor to develop a plan that will enable them to take charge of getting themselves up to speed in their new job.
- Rocket to the Top: A complete 12-month professional development program that guides Gen Y new hires as they execute their onboarding plan through their first year of their new job.
- Self-Directed Learning: For newbies that need help with specific issues, OnBoard Yourself e-learning courses, articles, podcasts and vidcasts are organized by topic and searchable by keyword.
Employers can obtain the OnBoard Yourself program in three ways: purchase individual access www.onboardyourself.com, license OnBoard Yourself content for use on your own server, or purchase a branded OnBoard Yourself portal for your company's exclusive use.
HR and hiring managers can receive a free 14-day trial. More info at: www.onboardyourself.com. For more information about participating in the trial study, contact Todd Hudson at 303.819.6662 or email thudson@onboardyourself.com.
