OnBoard Yourself:
A Program to Help You Onboard
Gen Y New Hires and Interns
Are you short on time or resources to onboard Gen Y newbies?
Are your new hires learning by trial and error, making mistakes that cost your company time, money and credibility?
Is your current onboarding program too “retro” for the digital generation?
OnBoard Yourself is a fun, engaging and easy-to-use e-learning program that helps you get Gen Y interns and new hires up to speed by helping your newbies take charge of their own onboarding and professional development. Our next-generation program gets your newbies adding value as quickly as possible, while minimizing disruption to you and their co-workers.
- My Personal OnBoarding Plan – Great for interns as well as new employees, these six e-learning modules teach newbies how to take charge of their own onboarding before they walk through your lobby doors on Day One. The program shows them how to work with you as needed to align their personal onboarding plan with their job description and your company's onboarding process. Our system is designed to make this process as pain-free as possible for you and co-workers. Learn More.
- Rocket to the Top – As your new hires begin to implement their Personal OnBoarding Plans, they can use Rocket to the Top, a complete month-by-month program designed to support and guide them through the entire first year of their new jobs. Our stage-by-stage program teaches and supports via self-paced e-courses, podcasts, vidcasts, screencasts, articles, webinars, discussion forums and more. Learn More.
- Self-Directed Learning – Does your newbie need help with a specific issue? All of OnBoard Yourself’s e-learning courses, articles, podcasts and vidcasts are fully searchable and organized by topic. For example, if your employee is having issues with getting organized, we have easy-to-find resources to help. Learn More.
Why Getting Gen Y to “Onboard Themselves” is So Critical
Gen Y is arguably the most facilitated generation of young employees ever to enter the work force. They excel when provided with a very clear path, but tend to languish when they need to take charge for themselves. Today’s leaned-out companies don’t have the resources to hold newbie hands. OnBoard Yourself is designed, not only to help get your Gen Y newbies up to speed, but also to teach them how to manage their own professional development.

Gen Y Loves Onboard Yourself
As we’re sure you know by now, Gen Y employees have their own way of doing things, and that definitely includes how they like to learn. OnBoard Yourself provides learning resources in short bursts, delivered in multiple modalities that are favored by the digital generation: podcasts, screencasts, vids, articles and checklists. Occasional light (and business-appropriate) humor combined with a real-world conversational tone helps to hold their attention and keep them wanting to learn more.

You'll have more time to devote to organization-specific training, and your new hires will thrive, stay at your company and perhaps even be there to help you onboard the next batch of newbies.
