The employee onboarding process marks a significant shift in power dynamics, where the new hire transitions from being in control during the interview to adapting to the organization's expectations.
Abstract
The content describes the shift in power dynamics that occurs during the employee onboarding process. Initially, during the job interview, the applicant held the power and provided the "right answers" to secure the position. However, the 60 days since then have been a period of adjustment, where the new hire has had to adapt to the organization's perspectives and expectations.
Now, the employee has "selected a door" and is facing a new beginning, an "empty slate." This suggests that the onboarding phase represents a unique opportunity for the employee to navigate this transition and establish their role within the organization.
The content highlights the importance of the onboarding process in shaping the employee's experience and their ability to align with the organization's culture and requirements.
