Our approach views On-boarding of new employees as a
process of learning & change for both the New Employee
& the Organization
New Employees join the
Organization
…the organization
learns
renewal of culture & ways of
working
…the employee
learns
Organization's Culture, Values &
Ways of Working
“All learning takes place inside individual human
heads; an organization learns in only two ways: (a) by
the learning of its members, or (b) by ingesting new
members who have knowledge the organization
didn’t previously have.”
- Simon (1991)
“When newcomers join a community of practice,
generational discontinuities spread through multiple
levels; relations shift in a cascading process.”
- Wenger (1998)
