Tailoring onboarding to fit each new hire
Personalised onboarding ensures each new hire feels seen, supported, and equipped to succeed. By understanding their behavioural preferences, learning pace, and emotional intelligence, you can tailor the onboarding journey to help them integrate faster and more confidently into your culture.
Use the following assessments to gain a holistic view of your new hire:
Understand Behaviour with PPA
The Personal Profile Analysis (PPA) reveals how a person prefers to work and interact. This helps you match the onboarding approach to their style.
- Example: A hire high in Dominance and Influence may prefer active, social onboarding instead of lengthy solo reading tasks.
- Action: Adjust onboarding content and format to align with their preferences.
Helpful reports:
- Compatibility Report – Helps managers understand how to work well with the new hire.
- Strengths & Limitations Report – Identifies areas where the new hire may excel or need support.
- How to Manage Report – Offers tips to effectively motivate and guide the hire.
Match the pace with GIA
The General Intelligence Assessment (GIA) shows how quickly someone can grasp new concepts and solve problems.
- Example: A lower Perceptual Speed score means the hire may need more time with complex or detailed content.
- Action: Adapt onboarding timelines and expectations based on learning speed and accuracy.
Support emotional integration with TEIQue
The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) provides insight into how the new hire manages emotions, relationships, and stress.
Key traits it helps assess:
- Willingness to build relationships.
- Confidence in expressing opinions.
- Self-assurance in their abilities.
- Tendency to think before acting.
Action: Use these insights to foster an inclusive, communicative environment that helps new hires feel safe and valued.
The benefit of using all three assessments together
When used together, PPA, GIA, and TEIQue offer a holistic view of a new hire’s strengths, needs, and potential.
Use this combined knowledge to personalise onboarding, set realistic expectations, and build a supportive environment that prepares new hires for success. Once the new hire thrives, continue using these insights to guide their long-term development and growth. A personalised development journey ensures engagement and retention.
