When would a course that informs new managers how to onboard their new hires be helpful?
Option C won this Ranked poll with a final tally of 29 votes after 1 round of vote counting.
In a Ranked poll, respondents rank every option in order of preference. For example, when you test 6 options, each respondent orders their choices from first to sixth place.
PickFu requires a majority to win a Ranked poll. A majority winner differs from a plurality winner. A majority winner earns over 50% of the votes, whereas a plurality winner earns the most votes, regardless of winning percentage.
If an option does not earn a majority of votes, PickFu eliminates the option with the lowest number of votes. The votes from the eliminated option are reassigned based on each respondent’s next choice. This process continues in rounds until a majority winner emerges.
Scores reflect the percentage of total votes an option receives during the vote counting and indicate the relative preference of the respondents. If there is no majority winner, look to the scores to see how the options fared relative to one another.
Option | Round 1 |
---|---|
C | 58% 29 votes |
A | 22% 11 votes |
B | 20% 10 votes |
11 Responses to Option A
I like to know what I am doing. I would not want to wait to onboard someone without knowing what I am doing.
This all depends on the turnover rate and the amount of onboarding that is needed. However since one of the primary responsibility of a manager is to manage the subordinates they should know ASAP.
I feel like this is an important part of being a manager so the course should be offered early on into the career of the manager.
The manager should be trained as soon as possible, not wait until they actually have to onboard someone
Knowing how to do your job beforehand is necessary. The manager would onboard the best when he/she had already prepared for it.
Once you get that job you should already be preparing for things like this as they could happen at any moment. One week is the fastest time on here.
I chose in order of the sooner the better. I think the faster you get the manager trained on this the better.
It is pertinent information for all managers to have so I think A is the best answer
I think the earlier the better. It is important to learn this process. Onboarding should be as smooth as possible
A I think it's better to get the information sooner. It's also good to have a refresher before they start hiring.
Informing new managers on how to onboard is a very important process in business and it should be within the first week of becoming a manager.
10 Responses to Option B
I would expect managers to be well prepared for the onboarding. I chose option B because I know personally I would prefer at least a month, but within a week is also acceptable.
I see this as something that's far too important to leave until it becomes necessary, consider that bringing in new people is a part of pretty much every manager's domain in every business I've worked at or heard of. It shouldn't be done too soon either though, considering all the other important stuff they'll also have to deal with upon taking up the mantle. Within a month, as Choice B puts it, would probably be optimal. Soon enough they'll get it under their belts with ample time to seek more info if needed, but not so soon that it gets in the way of learning more immediate concerns for their position.
I think the best option is giving managers a little time to settle in, then give them the course, then refresher materials when about to onboard.
Shortly after becoming a manager would be ideal, before they have to onboard someone, but not so soon after becoming a manager that they feel overwhelmed.
I think that the course should be given within the first month of the new role. It give time for the manger to learn the job fully.
B, It would prepare them for when they are onboarding someone for the first time, and would make it less stressful.A, this is a little too soon, however it would prepare them before needing to onboard and would be less stressful.C, this would be very stressful and would make it rougher on them, however it would allow them to ask questions that they might not have thought about before.
I chose B because it is important to know how to onboard someone fairly soon after you start in hopes of retaining them. I thought the first month worked well because they would be getting into the groove of things at that point, although they would also still be onboarding to their position. I then chose C, although it is important to have good onboarding practices ahead of hiring someone. I chose A last because the first week of any new job is usually chaotic.
it would help soon after they become a manager but not too soon I would think.
It would be good for a manager to learn early, but it doesn't need to be the first week.
a month is reasonable. there's so much else going on that first month that trying for the first week is overly optimistic and may be overwhelming

I think people tend to forget so as close to when they will need the info as possible is best I think
For processes such as onboarding, it's good to get the information when it's likely to be used. Otherwise people tend to forget things if they learn them but don't use them?
It's only useful for managers who are actually responsible for "onboarding".
Onboarding is more of an HR task, so I wouldn't expect a manager to retain information until it comes time to do it
I choose "C" it is best to know everything up front.
C would probably be best because it allows the manager to have the information fresh in their mind so it translates easily
C. You must start from the beginning to build that foundation
i think it would be most relevant before doing it for the first time so the knowledge is still fresh
Option C, the sooner the better.
I think at the epoint of hiring would be the best that way the information is fresh. Secondly, I think within a month is good because it would give the new manager some time to learn and settle into their position before training and hiring others
The best way is with actual experience. So only teach when the opportunity comes.
I think B would be way too long of a time period to wait or show when a course would be helpful. I like C, I think C or A would be the best bets for it being timely and for it being beneficial to the manager.
I definitely believe it would be a good idea to onboard someone with a manager that knows what he is doing. This is why I believe that taking a course before you ever onboard someone is the way to go. This way they can learn all the things to make the process more efficient. I chose A second because if they don't take the course before they start they should definitely be doing it first week. I think taking it in the first month is just lazy and it could be done way sooner.
I prefer this title because it specifically mentions the word "onboard" which is the goal of this course. The other options don't use that word, so it isn't clear that the topic would be covered in the course.
This course description does a much better job of getting right to the heart of the matter.
C is the best option because the course would be done when it was needed and being able to use the information right away would make it easier to remember for the future. The other options are less ideal because a new manager would be learning many new things during their first month so it is unlikely he would retain the information regarding onboarding new hires. B would be preferable to A however if it had to be done early in their employment.
I think all of the options are valid. I would think, however, that a new manager would feel that in the first week they were mostly concerned with getting themselves up to speed for their own job, so worrying about onboarding someone else might seem a little excessive. Mangers always have a lot to do, and stuff gets forgotten when it's not applied, so I think Option C makes the most sense--do it in a timely manner. If you do it in, say, the first month, and then don't use that information for a year, you're likely going to have to go back and redo the course in preparation for actually applying it for the first time. So I think Option C makes the most sense, then Option B, and finally Option A, which is probably too soon, and would be potentially overwhelming for a new manager.
Timely is better because they will retain that information for their first onboarding.
It is best to have close to when you are in boarding new hires. Having a set time may not be as useful because you could start as a manager and not on board anyone for a year or more.
I think C would be best so the information is fresh in their minds
Choice C is the course that would be the most helpful because it would mention the exact date that the manager is going to onboard someone for the first time so they when it will happen and have time to plan and prepare their schedule around it. Choice A is second because if it happens in the first week then it is at least timely and happens in a quick enough manner. Choice B is last because within the first month seems like it is too large of a time gap and would have too much time pass.
I think more timely and closer to the actual on boarding would be best and fresh in their mind.
The first week is the absolute worst time to try to teach anyone anything that won't be immediately used. The first week is for orientation and acclimation. Not teaching the hard and heavy stuff. The best time to teach someone is right when it is about to be applicable so it is fresh in their brains and they have the right questions to ask for clarification.
When we go to hire someone would be great. So many times we learn something then don't use it for ages. I would like to learn it and then be able to use it right away to help remember.
c. It's best to have some one ready for the job before starting which can stop a lot of mistakes.A. In the first week new hire should learn the ins and out of the job, but they should really take a course before starting.B. Sometimes after being on the job for a month you would have made many mistakes and it does not look good so learning what is expected of you ahead of time makes you more productive.
I 100% think this is the correct choice. It is something you woudl want to do in real time and you would need someone to do that when they were hired. No use to do it before then.
Onboarding will be the best time to do something like this overall while the transition is fresh
When would a course that informs new managers how to onboard their new hires be helpful?Timely- When the manager is going to onboard someone for the first time. this Is Important Become good Person
I think that this kind of course would be most helpful when the manager is going to onboard someone for the first time because then the information will be most fresh in their mind.
