Executive Onboarding
Hiring the right leaders is a significant investment and a vital step for any company. Yet research shows 50% of executives leave the role within the first 18 months. Raines helps our clients protect their investment and ensure newly hired executives can have maximum impact in minimum time with onboarding coaching during the first 3 – 6 months of an executive’s tenure.
HOW WE HELP CLIENTS
Raines’ expert coaches leverage a highly personalized and data-driven approach focused on measurable outcomes to help newly hired executive leaders make the greatest impact possible. We guide executives during the onboarding process through:
- High-touch & Customized Solutions: Shaped by Raines’ 55 years in the talent industry and onboarding best practices, we tailor our solutions to our clients’ specific needs of the role.
- Dedicated Resources & Focus: We run a robust program while keeping our clients updated so they can focus on other important aspects of their business.
- Objectivity: We identify and bridge any gaps between stakeholders, and our bi-weekly meetings with the onboarding executive allow them to step back with a neutral partner, absorb, and apply their learnings for the most impact.
