Description: Making freshers job ready
Transition from college to corporate life is indeed complex and intense. There are no lesson plans to follow and no DIY brochures. However, organisations are stepping in to ensure this shift is smooth

Building the connect 
According to Meenakshi Iyengar, senior vice president & head, Human Resource, Fractal Analytics, “Effective on-boarding requires a robust induction programme that starts with the first several weeks and builds over the first year. Companies could set up online portals that enables freshers to interact with their managers, gives them easy access to corporate information that makes them well versed before the induction begins. She adds that to further help the new hire become organisation ready and to help them to advance on the value chain, training should include behaviors, technical, problem-solving, communication, management skills.
Pinning responsibility
While, at the institutional level it is the responsibility of the institute to groom students for corporate life, once they join an organisation, this responsibility rests with the HR department and the immediate reporting authority. “The responsibility for grooming belongs to all. At the outset, it is the responsibility of the institute to groom students. It’s also important that students show an eagerness to develop. When they join the corporate it’s the responsibility of the HR managers to groom and develop freshers,” stated Shaheed Ahmad, Head HR, Hindustan Motors Ltd, in one of TimesJobs.com’s ‘High-Tea’ chat session.
The three key steps 
While there are various things an organisation can do to groom freshers to fit into the corporate circle, Iyengar shares three steps that can help ease the process.
Being clear and precise: Well-defined job roles, expectations and success criteria are imperative to drive employee performance, and especially so for those entering the job market for the first time.  To ensure programmes are working, we recommend rigorous testing and measurement, frequent manager engagement and specific direction on how each person can hone their skills. Job roles along with clarity of career track help can give directions to succeed in future.
Creating an open environment: Onboarding programmes should go beyond training, to harnessing a personal connect with the freshers. Providing an open environment for informal and personal chats, engagement through social portals, skill testing through online certification programme, etc can stimulate the bonding. A structured mentorship and buddy programme can further help freshers deal with the day to day challenges. While mentors can coach them on technical skills, buddy helps them integrate with the organisation socially.
Holistic approach: A comprehensive programme is the key to help fresher’s transition to corporate life, inculcate organisational values and provide the first a stepping stone towards professional career. Organisations should focus on making this experience unique through personal bonding thereby leaving an everlasting impression.
