I've had the opportunity to work with multiple employers
during my 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry
but I can honestly say that the onboarding process
at Parexel is unprecedented.
I think part of the reason it's so successful
is because of the mentoring program that they've established.
The mentoring program pairs a new hire
with a senior member of their team
and the senior member walks the new hire
through all aspects of their on-the-job training.
They introduce them to the strategic partnership
they're going to be part of or the clients
that they are predominantly going to be doing business with.
They also introduce them to administrative tasks
that are required for the job
such as setting up their timesheet or their out of office.
All of this empowers the new hire
and sets them up for tremendous success
by giving them the tools
and confidence they need to excel at their job.
I feel very fortunate to have been part of the mentoring program
when I first joined Parexel.
And feel very privileged to now be a mentor for new hires!
