Mission OR Adventure #26: From Glitter to Grit: What Happens After the Onboarding Buzz Fades 〰️
From Amanda’s Desk
Last week, we blew up boring onboarding. This week? We’re looking at what happens after the glitter settles.
Because let’s be real - you can’t build belief in a week and expect it to stick without backup.
Too many businesses run an epic onboarding experience… and then drop their new hires into a cultural black hole. No clarity. No coaching. No rhythm.
So what happens?
✨ The energy fades.
📉 The performance dips.
👀 The new hire quietly wonders what they signed up for.
That’s not a people problem. That’s a systems problem.
🛠 What Comes After the Fireworks
You don’t need to clone the onboarding magic. You need to extend it.
Here’s how:
🔁 1. Turn Your Culture into Cadence
Set weekly, fortnightly, and monthly rhythms that anchor your values in real conversations. Culture isn’t a campaign - it’s a beat.
🎯 2. Re-Onboard Your Managers
Most performance issues aren’t about skill. They’re about leadership habits. Support your leaders like you do your newbies.
🧩 3. Teach Your Playbooks After the Party Got SOPs?
Great. But teach them when they matter, not all on Day 1. Spread out the learning. Build context before content.
✨ What We’re Seeing Inside Pulse
Our clients aren’t just onboarding better. They’re building rhythm.
They’re:
✅ Teaching values through live feedback.
✅ Designing systems that make culture visible.
✅ Giving their teams a reason to care and tools to win.
This stuff isn’t fluff. It’s the foundation of performance. And it’s the difference between a high-performing team and one that ghosts you in month three.
🎉 Want In? Pulse Community is open.
The blueprint is working. And we’ve got room for you.
Let’s make your training culture something people rave about (not run from).
