Discuss how a newly hired employee who goes through a similar poorly managed on-
boarding process may react if they do not have the option of changing their job quickly. What
consequences would this have for the company?
Answer: On boarding is the initial process of assimilating new employees into an

organization. In addition to equipping new hires with the tools necessary to succeed in their
new position, a successful onboarding programs provides new hires with the resources to
become fully engaged and culturally aware members of a productive work force. On boarding
process also known as organizational socialization, refers to process through which new
employee acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and behaviour to become effective
organizational members. However, newly hired employees who facing a similar poorly
managed on boarding process will have a reaction towards it.
Unfortunately, a number of employers aren’t taking a well managed on boarding

program to facilitate their newly hired employees. The study found that 36 percent of
organizations do not have a structured onboarding process in place. Newly hired employees
who goes through a similar poorly managed onboarding process will have lower morale. This
can be a result of bad management. When employees complain to each other, complete their
tasks with minimal effort of fail to finish their work assignments on time or at all, they may
be suffering from a lack of motivation due to a manager who does not relate to the staff.
Employees may perceive inequitable treatment of some co-workers that results in favouritism
or they do not have leadership necessary to keep them on task. In addition, a poor supervisor
may not pay attention to the needs of employees. Such as allowing a balance between work
duties and personal life or providing training. They don’t respect the company rules or any
regulations to do their job properly to achieve the company expectation.
Next, employees tend to have low confidence towards their employers whose offer
poorly managed on boarding process. At this point the connection between the employees
and employers are lack of trust which decrease the rapport among them. It is impossible for
them to cooperate and have faith to each other. At the worst part, the newly hired are easily to
be abused by the senior workers whose facing the same issues. The senior workers also
experienced the same problems in the company when they was newly hired before. A lack of
trust within the organization and missed revenue targets are among the other negative
impacts of not having a thorough onboarding program.
Meanwhile onboarding is a critical component of setting new employees up for
success from day one, this study shows some companies are neglecting fundamentals in the
onboarding process and running into serious consequences that can impact the bottom line.
Firstly, it reduced productivity of the company. If management does not clearly define
performance expectations or follow up with employees about their levels or productivity,
your organization can experience reduced revenues. When employees join your company,
they should receive a performance plan with the standards of their positions listed. Regular
appraisals help employees to know that the organization is satisfied with their performance. If
management does not set performance standards and follow up with reviews, staff members
may not feel appreciated. Continually wondering if they are meeting expected requirements
will decrease productivity. Without set standards, management will face a disciplinary
challenge when poor work performance eventually does affect productivity.
Bad management of a company can lead to a decrease in profits in two ways. By not
supervising personnel properly and not balancing the company budget. When employees are
faced with bad management, they may spend their time looking for other employment and
not focusing on reaching the goals of the organization. This causes the company to pay an
industry wage for a low output. If the sales department is affected by bad management, gross
profits are directly impacted when quotas are not met. In addition, if expenditures are too
high or money is otherwise mismanaged, a lower business income will be realized.
Lastly, bad management has caused organizations to permanently close their doors.
Poor leadership results in high turnover of employees. The cost of recruitment and training
becomes prohibitive, which can impact a business’s ability to continue operations. Bad
management may affect the coffers directly. If company funds are mismanaged or the budget
is overextended in comparison with revenues earned. Without sufficient business reserves, it
may not be able to absorb consistent losses, and your organization can fail.
In conclusion, an organization should provide a well managed on boarding process to

avoid decreases in profits and organization performance as well as loss in budget due to high
turnover among the new employees. Besides, new hired employees should act wisely in
selecting the best well managed on-boarding programs which equipped their needs and skills
to avoid incompetency.
