It is a common notion that a new employee will only fully realise their full potential in the new role after 6 months. With onboarding coaching, this process can be twice as fast – new employees benefiting from a coaching support are more likely to feel and act at their full potential after just 90 days of employment. Our research has shown that traditional onboarding methods, such as videos and training resources, only support new employees’ adaptation by 70%. In contrast, FLOW’s onboarding coaching program accelerates behavioral adaptation by 88%, making it twice as fast as traditional methods. This coaching process also fosters employee resilience and helps them realize their full potential in just 90 days.

FLOW’s Career Onboarding Coaching is a comprehensive coaching program designed to support new employees during their first three months on the job. This structured coaching process is specifically designed to accelerate the employee’s adaptation to the new role, reduce potential risks, and enhance overall integration into the organization.


The Career Onboarding Coaching process is tailored to the new employee’s needs and involves a range of activities, including understanding the organization’s culture, communication styles, leadership competencies, and behaviors. The process also covers industry and organizational dynamics, data analytics, and business results.

The coaching engagement starts with a kick-off meeting with the HR representative(s) and supervisor(s), where the objectives and process are discussed and agreed upon. The process continues with an alignment meeting, where the coach facilitates an alignment of desired outcomes between the HR representative, supervisor, and new employee.

During the onboarding coaching period, weekly-bi-weekly or monthly meetings are held to discuss progress, challenges, and adaptation goals. The coach may also gather stakeholders again in the middle of the period to facilitate open communication and gather feedback to help sustain momentum and continuous growth.

At the end of the onboarding coaching period, a wrap-up session with the direct supervisor and HR partner finalizes the process. Follow-up actions for sustainability are discussed, and the possibility of extending the coaching relationship is considered.

Overall, FLOW’s Career Onboarding Coaching program provides a supportive and structured approach to onboarding new employees. This program accelerates behavioral adaptation, reduces risks, and enhances integration into the organization, ultimately increasing employee retention and productivity.
