Tips for Onboarding and Unleashing Your Team's Change Superpowers

Written by Michelle Holland | 2023

Picture this: a new teammate joins your crew, all excited and ready to roll. But wait, how do you get to know their superpowers ASAP? After all, understanding their strengths and preferences is the secret sauce to helping them become true heroes in your workplace!

 

At SynergyIQ, we're all about making our newbies feel like rockstars from the get-go! Our goal? To help them integrate like a boss, feel cosy and at home, and become super productive and valuable members of our squad. Oh, and did we mention being part of something WAY bigger than themselves? That's the dream!

 

Most places out there reduce onboarding to dull checklists and stuffy processes. But surprise, surprise! That's why newbies often pull a disappearing act after a year. Poof! Vanish!

 

But not with us! We've got a secret weapon up our sleeves (okay, not so secret anymore, but it's still awesome!), its Wholebrain Thinking which is powered by the one and only HBDI – Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument. Fancy names aside, it's like the Avengers of cognitive profiles! 

 

Here's why we love it:

 

Quick & Easy: Forget confusing mumbo-jumbo. Wholebrain Thinking is super quick for everyone to get! It's like unlocking a new level in a video game without the stress and boss fights.

 

A Common Language: No need to decode weird jargon or decipher secret handshakes. With Wholebrain Thinking, we all speak the same language when discussing strengths and behaviours. It's like having a secret decoder ring that actually works!

 

Chatty Chatty: Y'know what's cooler than talking about the weather? Chatting about your brains!  Sharing thinking preferences connect our team on a whole new level. It's like discovering you're both massive fans of the same band!

 

But hey, it's not just about fun and games (although we do love those!). Our new teammates genuinely learn about themselves, feel part of our family, and fit in like they've been here forever! It's like the best kind of family reunion, complete with hugs and laughter. 

 

And the best part? The HBDI is our secret sauce for team cohesion, culture building, and ninja-level communication. No more misunderstandings or confusion – just smooth sailing towards greatness!
