BOSTON, Mass. (July 11, 2007) – Cambria Interactive, a division of Cambria Consulting, Inc. announces the launch of OnboardingDirector™, an innovative online solution that addresses the unique needs of onboarding new leaders into strategically important roles.

Onboarding – the process of transitioning people into new roles and organizations – is critical at the leadership level. Nuanced and multidimensional factors must be considered to onboard senior managers successfully, particularly regarding their socialization. If not done right, it can put organizations in an extremely vulnerable position. Paper based processes and online onboarding tools that primarily facilitate administrative aspects of onboarding do not address these factors.

OnboardingDirector™ embeds Cambria’s complete process for transitioning new leaders. It provides a central access point to share best practices, tools and resources across an organization, and it provides grounding for the individuals who support the new leader’s onboarding process – such as the new leader’s manager, HR professional, coach and administrative assistant.

Cambria benchmarked successful new leader onboarding with numerous Fortune 200 companies, identifying fundamental elements that work best and building them into OnboardingDirector™. The result is a robust onboarding solution with particular emphasis on the unique socialization needs of new leaders – such as leading unfamiliar teams and developing an internal network. One client reports OnboardingDirector™ engaged key individuals, enabled more seamless new leader transitions, and contributed to retention at the highest, most costly organizational level.

To learn more about OnboardingDirector™ and how it can be adapted to fit your organization’s requirements or to learn how Cambria can assist you with related services such as onboarding coaching and executive assessment, contact Christa St. Cyr (cstcyr@cambriaconsulting.com ).
