Introduction to Task Assessment

     Onboarding sets the stage for an employee’s experience within an organization.  Done well, onboarding gives a new employee all the tools and information needed to succeed in a new role.  Done poorly, incompletely, or totally ignored (all too common!), an employee can be set on a path of chronic frustration and underperformance.  The positive or negative effects generated by the onboarding process – or lack thereof – are experienced by both the employee and the employer or manager.  Thus, it is beneficial to the organization and all individuals within it to have a thorough and effective onboarding process.

     Many manufacturing and service companies succumb to competitive pressure by embarking on misguided cost-reduction efforts, failing to take a holistic approach.  To be clear, lean is the way to be; lean is not the same as cost reduction.  Successful cost-reduction efforts consider the entire enterprise, the entire product life cycle, and, most importantly, the effects that changes will make on customers.
