An on-board executive coaching program will help new hires engage with the leadership, colleagues, and constituencies more effectively.  Focused on-board coaching will assist new hires in understanding and becoming a vital part of the organizational culture.

A new hire’s short- and long-term success is largely dependent on cultural fit within an institution.  This fact has been reconfirmed by many studies, including Mark Murphy’s research that tracked 20,000 new hires (Hiring for Attitude, McGraw-Hill, 2011).  Of the hires that were not successful in the first 18 months, only 11% was due to lack of a specific skill, while an astonishing 89% was due to cultural/organizational fit.  This clearly illustrates the vital importance of fit when expanding a team and hiring new senior leadership and staff.

FPS’ many years in the field, we have also witnessed the importance of how a new team member is introduced to an institution; the first three to six months are critical and will significantly impact the hire’s ultimate success.  Therefore, we offer tailored on-board coaching for our executive placements, designed to actively support assimilation, success, and retention.
