87% of today’s people, new to the market place, say “My smartphone never leaves my side”. Is it time for your induction to go online?
Of course it is.
Let’s get started
Focus on Content First
Don’t start by deciding you want a technology based programme. Start by deciding on the induction programme content.
Make sure you are absolautely clear about what you want to say to your new hires. Write down (all of it) in whatever form you prefer. Start with a mindmap to brainstorm and then write in the details. Get others to supply information to help complete details. Finish your own draft first.
This is important for two very good reasons:
- Basically, writing the programme content is the hard part. It takes time, hard work, and the content must be yours. No mater what platform you choose, the content is yours.
- It’s the content that counts, not the format. Few people these days are impressed by a “bells and whistles” campaign and recognise what’s behind it. Make sure what your modlette says is great, and well laid out, and easy to read.
Choose a delivery system that meets your needs
After you are satisfied with the content, its important to deliver the message in a way that’s consistent with your culture. Most people today have access to the internet with either mobile or other devices. This is therefore, the obvious communication conduit of the future. A number of generation Z people say everything will be done on mobile devices in the next three years.
Test, test, test
If you’ve got great content, your project will move easily from one format to another. Test your programme content on a test Modlette and try out on various smart phones and a number of sites.
Use a delivery platform that’s easily updated
Modlettes is ideal for on-boarding. Modlettes can be updated by clicking the checkout box in the status column of the Modlettes section. This will removed the modlette from circulation long enough for you to make any edits or changes to content.
There isnt any good off-the-shelf stuff
Save yourself a lot of time. Any off-the-shelf programmes I have seen are too generic and do not tell the story about YOUR company. It’s just impossible to deliver a generalised but high-calibre induction programme that’s not tailored to a specific company.
Modletes provide the ideal platform
Modlettes, in association with its technical staff, can provide you guidance and technology to build a highly effective cost-conscious cloud-based system using the following steps:
- Help you write the material
- Provide an excellent delivery platform and help convert your material to an instruction based internet access programme
- Wait for the final product. As you have already produced great content and picked a cost conscious provider the final product should be completed and on the modlette platform in a few days.
