Managing Transitions: How to Cut Costs and Increase Success When People Take On New Roles
September 26, 2007
2:00-3:00 PM Eastern
Why do so many transitions of talented and capable people fail? How can a company hire a strong candidate, then 30 days later conclude there’s a “bad fit”? Why is it when you promote top performing sales reps, accountants or engineers into managerial positions, they often fail miserably and end up quitting or being fired? How can an employee be outstanding in one department, make a lateral move, and then fail in the new department?
More often than not it’s because so many companies take a “sink or swim” approach to transitions that almost guarantees failure. The cost is staggering. Studies have shown that a person transitioning into a new job will take 6.2 months to break even on contribution in his new role. During that time, he’ll likely be decreasing the productivity of 12.4 people he directly impacts. When a transition fails it costs between two and six times a person’s salary to replace him. Do the math and you’ll see that failed transitions are costing your company a fortune.
Unnecessarily. Some companies “get” the importance of successful transitions and know there’s plenty for you to do to dramatically improve your success rate. This 90-minute program will explore the root causes of transition failure, provide a checklist to avoid the most common transition mistakes, and lay out a series of eight proactive steps that HR executives can take to ensure successful new-hire and internal transitions from this point forward.
