Part 6 of 8 – Conduct A Behavioral Assessment And Discussion
Behavioral assessment and discussion ensure the new employee feels connected with the company culture during onboarding. This assessment helps the company identify whether a new employee’s behavior aligns with the company’s core values. During discussions, reinforce the importance of values and how they guide behavior in the workplace. Discussions following behavioral assessments define how to interact with colleagues, clients, and supervisors in ways that reflect the company’s culture. Behavioral assessment allows employees to ask questions to colleagues and vice versa. An organization can make the onboarding process smooth and exciting through open dialogue.
