Change Management & New Hires

[Puck81]

We complete a change management form for any team member moving from one department to another, or if a job title is changed...etc.

Is it recommended to complete a change management form for a new hire?

Our new hire process is standardized as far as training goes. This includes machining, quality, safety, tooling, HR, & environmental training. Each department has a set of levels which team members must meet the criteria to be able to reach the next level.

It's hard to answer without knowing more information. What does the change management form do when you're changing roles for team members? Does the new hire process do the same thing for new hires?

For our change management form:

We have the managers determine where the training gaps are. If the team member needs additional training for their new role, the manager will determine what is needed on the form. Both the existing, and new manager for the team member then sign off on the form to authorize the change.

We also state the reason for the change.

If the new hire process already defines all of the required training, then I don't see the need for your change management form for new hires. It seems to me it would be redundant.

This is referred to as an orientation or basic training program in some companies and details are documented in orientation forms. So it is different from the 'changes' that you are trying to capture in the change management form.
