New Hire On-Boarding
You’ve spent all the time and money to find and hire talent. Don’t skimp when it counts most. Successfully on-boarding that talent is your best chance to protect your investment and accelerate your new talent’s path to productivity.
Multiple touch-points during the new hire process and multiple perspectives provide critical insight and subtle course correction to keep the on-boarding process running smoothly. Aggregated data provides insights into overall hiring / on-boarding process health and the key drivers of new hire success.
Client Success: All Aboard!
A government agency approached Leading Indicator Systems to help with a challenge. They spent months recruiting for roles with very specific technical requirements only to see many of their recruits leave for private-sector jobs. The obvious answer was pay, which the agency couldn’t address given strict government salary bands. Digging deeper we found a range of more important shortcomings that the agency could address, including: culture, expectations, mentoring and feedback.
Leading Indicator Systems:
Built a framework for on-boarding success
Designed a multi-touchpoint (at hire and on regular intervals over first year) new hire - manager feedback program
Integrated hiring data and performance data
Generated individual and aggregate reporting
Client got timely feedback to improve individual new hire experiences and aggregated insight to drive recruiting, on-boarding and retention processes.
“Our on-boarding program gave us vital information to shape individual new hire experiences. It enabled very different and more powerful conversations. And when we looked at aggregate data we began to see what was working and what needed fixing,” explained the agency’s Head of Human Resources.

Client Success: Empowering Frontline Associates
A financial services company sought to empower its 15,000+ frontline associates, testing alignment with the company’s 12 core principles and helping them develop their own action plans.
Leading Indicator Systems:

Incorporated a detailed report with benchmarks

Employees can access the feedback and planning tool on their own schedule. And the company got a real charge out of our solution!
Leadership Development
Companies are full of managers. Finding and developing the true leaders among them is the million-dollar ticket… almost literally given the costs of failing to develop internal talent and then paying to recruit and integrate talent from outside the organization!
Client Success: Orders Up!
A national quick service restaurant chain, our client holds its leaders to a clearly defined (and high) set of standards. The company had been using a well-known leadership 360° tool. However, the 100+ question survey exhausted respondents and failed to deliver feedback that leaders found compelling.
Leading Indicator Systems:
Designed and validated a 5 factor, 20 question 360° survey tool
Aligned reporting to leverage franchise standards, devoid of the consulting frameworks and jargon
Created a “quick service” survey experience
Now, leaders look forward to participating in the assessment program, give and receive useful feedback and have a framework for their development. One told us, “I finally have time to actually reflect and provide useful feedback.”
