3. The Article
●
The article I chose to analyze for this assignment was Yahoo Finance's article “Onboarding
with a Human Touch from ADP”
●
The article basically speaks to the fact that only 20 percent of employees, and 9 percent of
managers feel that their companies do onboarding extremely well
4. Who is ADP?
●
ADP is essentially a company that looks for ways to
improve the workers experience, through organized
payroll, HR, and benefits
●
They look to connect Human Relations with Human
Resources
5. What does the article say?
•
The article talks about the onboarding process as an important part
of the process
– According to my boss, employees make a decision on whether
they like a job in the first week
“The first days and weeks on the job for new employees are crucial
and make or break a new employee's impression on whether or not
they want to stay. It is both an exciting and stressful time”
7. The Concept of Human Relations
•
Intro to Human Relations
• According to Merriam-Webster, human relations is a “study of human
problems arising from organizational and interpersonal relations”
8. The Concept of Human Relations
•
Intro to Human Relations
• According to Merriam-Webster, human relations is a “study of human
problems arising from organizational and interpersonal relations”
• The graphic below basically gives an idea of an IDEAL situation in human
relations
10. Human Resources
•
Human Resources and Human Relations are two different things.
•
Human relations is “a department within an organization that deals
with the people who work for that organization.
11. Human Relations VS Human Resources
•
Human Resources starts with the idea that all people should be for
one common theme, and working together.
– More of a team approach to Organizational
Communication
•
Human Relations basically says that a happier person is a more
productive person.
•
Human Resources on the other hand, takes the opposite
perspective, that a more productive person is a happier person.
13. Models of Socialization
•
In the chapter, we learned about the models of Socialization.
– The socialization process model tells us that the pre-arrival
of employees, is followed by an encounter
– That encounter is followed by an attempt for the new
employee to fit in with the current staff.
– Then, after all that, the outcomes take place
●
Productivity and Commitment
●
Turnover
14. Necessary Information for Socialization to
Occur
•
In the chapter, we learned about the content of Socialization.
– Role-related information
●
People don't want to go into a new job, and just sit and do
paperwork for days. They need time to get involved first
•
The article supports this information, and gives a connection to the real world,
when Anna Carsen, VP product management at ADP said “The first days and
weeks on the job for new employees are crucial and make or break a new
employee's impression on whether or not they want to stay. It is both an
exciting and stressful time. The last thing a new hire wants to do is sit in
isolation, wading through mounds of paperwork”
15. What if the process doesn't work out? Why
didn't it work?
●
In the chapter, we learned that “individuals on the sideline of
communication networks are more likely to exit”
●
We can connect this to the article from ADP, where it talks
about creating a process where employees are welcomed, and
comfortable before even walking on the job.
16. Research Questions
•
I expect to in the future see further research done on how we can
improve human relations in the workplace. Is this necessary?
Would having better human relations really improve the
workplace, and is it possible?
17. Research Questions
•
I expect more research from companies having to do with the ever
increasing effect that social media has on them, and how social
media will effect this process. What do you think?
