The High Performance Series: Developing future field stars

Signing top talent is only half the battle for employers. The real work starts when they step onto the field, lock into the game plan and start delivering on the scoreboard.

For Kiwi businesses, an impressive CV gets someone through the door, but it doesn’t automatically mean high output. Accelerating how fast a new hire gets up to speed, without burning them out, comes down to a deliberate mix of intentional induction, capability building and continuous performance development.

Join us for the third webinar of The High Performance Series, Powered by Employment Hero and The Blues, we’ll be joined by the Blues’ CEO, Karl Budge, as he shares how they bridge the gap between onboarding, rapid performance and long-term retention.

In attending, you’ll get to see behind closed doors, and uncover:

• Beyond the admin checklist: Why world-class onboarding is about performance clarity, setting expectations and building capability.
• Connecting culture to capability: How embedding new starters into your organisation’s values from day one builds a solid foundation of accountability, trust and a shared drive to succeed.
• The continuous growth loop: How to seamlessly transition a great onboarding experience into structured development catch-ups, KPI tracking and ongoing skill development.
• The retention playbook: Practical ways to use peer mentoring and continuous feedback loops to turn your new recruits into your next generation of leaders, while keeping your high-value seasoned pro sharp and motivated.

Employment Hero partners with The Blues as we believe in investing in high performance teams. By bringing elite performance insights directly to the business arena, we want to bridge the gap between what the world’s best teams do on the field and what leaders need to do inside their organisations. This session is tailor-made for Kiwi business owners, HR professionals and People & Culture leaders who want to build a team that delivers – week in, week out.
