Abstract
Develop an on-boarding program specifically for new leaders to Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) corporate that would improve their socialization into the culture of CHW. Sources of Data Employee surveys, company websites, management interviews, needs assessments, publications Conclusions Reached The organizational problem CHW encountered can be attributed to the fact that new leaders were not receiving the strategic or departmental coaching needed to feel productive or successful in their new position. The active involvement of Human Resources, the CHW Learning Institute and existing managers are essential to establish a long-term relationship with the new leader that begins prior to being hired and will endure through everyday trials of the workplace. Depending on the needs and requirements, the length of the on-boarding process will vary across departments and leadership positions. The implementation of a leadership on-boarding program will help CHW align individual behaviors with strategic corporate objectives. As a result of a successful implementation of the proposed on-boarding program, CHW should experience an increase in employee and leader productivity and job engagement. This in turn benefits the whole organization both culturally and financially.
