\"\"According to a new survey by\u00a0CareerBuilder<\/a>, 49% of employers are planning to hire summer employees. Of those, 79% said they would consider summer staff for long-term positions.\u00a0For business\u00a0owners\u00a0taking the long view,\u00a0the employee onboarding\u00a0and training process is even more crucial.<\/p>\n

By providing a more extensive training at time of hire, those summer employees who stay on will already be prepped and able to make a seamless transition. It is also a more cost-effective solution as it prevents internal or external personnel from conducting two training sessions within three month<\/span> of each other.\u00a0The\u00a02016 Training Industry Report<\/a>\u00a0indicates that, on average, the training budget for small business was $236,270. The average cost per employee was $1,052.<\/p>\n

As we shared in the November blog<\/a> on holiday hiring, the training and onboarding of short-term staff is just as critical as that of year round employees. No matter how long a new hire intends to be with the company, every day they\u00a0represent the values your company stands for.\u00a0By providing more care during the\u00a0training process, employees are more likely to treat your customers with the care they have come to expect from your organization.<\/p>\n

New employee training should include more than just internal procedures and\u00a0introduction to software. Your employee training should also include the mission and vision of the company and the foundational values of your organization.\u00a0Effective\u00a0training balances the company\u2019s employment need with the client\u2019s\u00a0need in a way that enhances the skill set of each trainee.<\/p>\n

A summer employee is more than just a warm body to fill a slot. They represent your company, your brand in front of your clients. With the right training and onboarding experience they could very well become a long term asset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
