hey guys II see RG here today we've got a very good video for you guys we're
talking about onboarding and new job training
hey guys II see RG here we've got a very interesting video for you today
onboarding and new job training now onboarding is typically what happens
when you go to a new company for the first time and they are acclimating you
to the company's ways and culture so they're gonna sit you down usually
they're gonna have a group of people depending on the size of the company and
they're primarily going to tell you about you know you know get your
computer tell you how to log into the computer and all the systems that you're
gonna be using maybe give you some new company swag like a shirt or something
and they're just gonna be giving you overall intro to the company they're
gonna talk you to you about the history of the company and things of that nature
maybe talk to you about different departments and things like that talk to
you about different policies harassment policy you know the electronics policy
and you know things of that nature that's onboarding now there's gonna be a
whole separate thing where they train you well at least most big big companies
who have a I guess a thorough infrastructure for this they're gonna
have onboarding start and then they gonna have a training part where they
train you about the job itself that you're gonna be doing so I first got my
start and an entry-level project management position in clinical research
so they had their own separate training which wasn't that good but the reason
why I wanted to do this video today is because when you do a different job when
you apply and successfully get a different job there's gonna be a whole
new training process that occurs I had a good company with a robust training
infrastructure so it is very interesting to see how they differ from when you
first get started in the industry versus when you
I guess move up in the new training so there's a complete training program for
certain positions and in particular this one in-house CRA
there's a whole different training program that is way more robust and way
more resource intensive for the company it's crazy how sometimes companies don't
train their entry-level employees as much they don't put as much into them
but as soon as you move up there put more and more into you so you know this
training is eight weeks long just become a in-house CRA and you would think that
you wouldn't need that much time to train if you are already working in the
company because there's a lot of overlap with what you already know so a lot of
the systems are the same you know how to log into your computer you not to use
the computer well you know it's pretty much just on the job like actually doing
the job so you could pretty much jump in right now you know shadow some people
and get your to get started that way so it's very interesting how companies are
willing to put more resources into you after you've been in the company for a
while and you know maybe that's just an old mentality I mean I think I think
it's it's it's interesting play because obviously companies need people to that
are trained and are able to do the job but in an industry like clinical
research where the turnover is so high people could you know just take the
training and then go jump for a much better job with that pays a bunch higher
so it's a it's a risk reward but obviously from the company's perspective
you need competent people to do the job but it's just interesting how they don't
put how some don't put as much emphasis in the entry-level role the training
wise when you know the least amount about clinical research so so you look
out for that as you guys level up in your chosen field specifically in
clinical research look for those training opportunities and look for the
company to really you know use those resources that they have and put them
into you in a training capacity so that's very interesting make sure you
use that to your advantage and another thing that's very interesting about the
training is when I when you first start in the industry a lot of the training is
going to be online some some is going to be in person but a lot of it is gonna be
on I know during my first job training that
a whole lot of it was online you know hours and hours and hours of training
online but this next set of training is for in-house CRA is you know you it's a
combination of in-person and online and and there's gonna be shadowing
opportunities that you have to do to make sure that you're capable of doing
the job so it's just amazing how much more intense there is and we're gonna go
through it right now so I mean I pretty much get a few weeks
off to Train from the job you know it's it's it's very relaxing you don't to go
into work it pretty much work from home you do the training from home and you
know that's just what it is so they're doing that they clear your schedule
you're allowed you know your they clear your schedule you're not in there
working on your old projects that you are doing your klesko that was totally
clear off there's training in the middle of the week a few hours each day or a
few hours a couple of days not even every day the other days are just there
for you to to train and do your online training but there's live training in
the middle of the week so then that happens for a couple weeks and then the
remainder of the time the next four to six weeks or so you're in the office but
you're not going to be on specific projects yet you're gonna be in there
training with people by hand you know person-to-person training and
then hopefully you know you know getting to try to you know do any of the visits
the remote business or anything like that so it's a very extensive process
I'm very impressed with how people tend to train on this and it just goes to
show I mean even for other positions like project manager or you know I don't
know any any more positions where the training is but I know for project
manager because I was on that side of things and kind of operations the
training seems to be pretty robust and of course you you need strong good
project managers on studies because they pretty much run the whole show and of
course you need good monitors on studies as well because you know they
have to be signed off by the sponsor they have to be approved by the sponsor
to even work on the study so you want to make sure you have competent individuals
and competent folks working on the study and really leading the charge there so
you know I'm just very thankful that companies decide to put as much training
as they do into into the employees I'm not so sure that every other company
does this but for you guys out there who are looking to get into a training
program you know make sure you try your hardest because you know they are really
they really are gonna put as much as they can into you and put as many
resources as they can into the training program to make sure it's worth your
while and worth the companies while as well so hope that was informative video
I want to talk a little bit about onboarding versus you know new job
training when you first get in but also new job training as you level up through
the years and the company and how that changes so this was just a little slice
for my viewfinder on new job training but hope this was informative for you
