Raines’ Executive Onboarding Solutions
The best executive can fail in a new role if not given the appropriate support. With half of senior executives leaving an organization within their first 18 months, the first weeks and months are critical. Based on best practices, shaped by Raines’ 55+ years in the talent industry, and tailored to individual client needs, Raines’ onboarding coaching is designed to enable executives to be successful and have impact faster.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ONBOARDING
With their significant impact on an organization’s strategic direction, culture, and overall performance, well-integrated leaders can drive results sooner and build momentum for the entire C-suite team. But, without the appropriate time and efforts dedicated to empowering a new executive to thrive in role, that hire can quickly become a costly misstep — replacing a C-suite executive is estimated to be 2x the employee’s annual salary. Not to mention, new executives don’t sit in a vacuum: a poorly integrated hire can lead to loss in morale, unintended turnover, a hit of market reputation, and financial loss. At the end of the day, it’s about protecting and maximizing your investment.
HIGHLY PERSONALIZED & DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH
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 our coachees throughout their onboarding process to:
