Discover the top 10 of the most common mistakes made when changing jobs and how to avoid them.
Handover is a key moment in the life of a company, especially in the industrial sector. It is a process that, if poorly managed, can cause major disruptions in operations and affect overall business performance.
Here are the top 10 most common transfer mistakes and how to avoid them.
Competency management is essential during the transition process. Not taking into account all the skills required for the position, including soft skills, can lead to reduced productivity and a loss of valuable knowledge.
How to avoid it: Make sure you have a complete list of the skills needed for the job and set up a training plan for the new incumbent.
The digitalization of processes can greatly facilitate the transfer of jobs by centralizing and structuring information. Not using it can make the procurement process more complex and inefficient.
How to avoid it: Set up digital tools adapted to your needs and train your employees to use them.
The transmission of knowledge is a crucial aspect of the handover. Centralizing everything is good, but distributing it properly is better. Poor dissemination can lead to a loss of valuable knowledge and a decrease in operational performance.
How to avoid it: Put in place a knowledge transfer plan, including complete documentation and adequate training for the new incumbent.
The digitalization of processes is an effective solution for the handover, but only if the digital tools are adapted to your needs. Using the wrong tools can make the procurement process more complex and inefficient.
How to avoid it: Choose digital tools that match your needs and those of your employees. The platforms you choose should be fun, easy to learn and accessible to everyone.
Digitizing processes can be an effective solution for handing over jobs, but only if employees are properly trained in the use of digital tools. Poor training can lead to errors and reduced productivity.
How to avoid it: Set up adequate training for your employees on the use of digital tools.
Documenting knowledge is essential for a successful handover. Failure to do so may result in a loss of valuable knowledge and a decrease in operational performance.
How to avoid it: Be sure to document all the knowledge required for the job throughout the careers of your employees. Processes should be completed on a regular basis.
Incomplete knowledge transfer can lead to a loss of valuable knowledge and a decrease in operational performance. This is often the case, with a lack of up-to-date knowledge.
How to avoid it: Ensure that all the knowledge required for the position is up to date and properly conveyed to the new incumbent.
You must ensure that the knowledge acquired is well assimilated by the newcomer. Theory must be accompanied by a control of practice.
How to avoid it: Put in place adequate training for the new incumbent, including training on the skills needed for the job and the use of digital tools. This knowledge can be checked through quizzes or role-playing games.
Knowledge of the company's culture is an important non-technical skill for a new incumbent. Not taking it into account can lead to poor integration of the new incumbent and a decrease in motivation.
How to avoid it: Be sure to convey the company culture to the new incumbent during the handover through videos, images, and other materials that motivate your employees.
Knowledge of internal processes is an important non-technical skill for a new incumbent. He must not reinvent the wheel when he arrives. However, this is regularly observed among our customers before Komin is deployed in their organization.
How to avoid it: Be sure to pass on internal company processes to the new incumbent during the handover. Whether it is technical or related to the operation of your business.
Handover is a complex process that requires special attention. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure a smooth transition and maintain your operational performance at a high level.
