Our interviews are now group interviews that test the skills required on the job at a much higher degree than before. It certainly helps set expectations and better positions potential future employees to succeed! Great points and well stated.

Establishing the expectations from the very beginning and then reinforcing them during induction, on the job training, management actions on the job and through all communications and policies creates a strong focused working team!

I've seen this, too, where the goal was to just get people in the door, whether they were the right person or not! I also think so much of what we do with re-training and performance management is really about making up for a bad hire. Being scary (or real) up front saves time, energy and frustration.
