Murray Hill, NJ (PRWEB) January 5, 2009 -- A new article published by the Society for Human Resource Management, (SHRM) reports that few organizations have any workable executive integration plan in place. Entitled, "Integrating New Execs Takes More than Name-Plate Change in C-Suit," the article is written by Tim Ruef, an executive with the retained search firm, Michael E. Marion & Associates, and included in the Organizational and Employment Development section of SHRM Online.
Commenting that between 30 and 50 per cent of executive appointments end in resignation, Ruef cites data indicating that the cost of these mishires to the organization can be as much as 15 times the amount of the executive's base salary when all costs are considered. Posing the question, "Why do such a high percentage of new executives fail to achieve expectations?" he reports that lack of an executive integration plan is a key factor. Differentiating between orientation, and integration, Ruef highlights the critical importance of the latter, and notes that very few organizations have any organized plan to facilitate smooth and successful executive entry. The author describes the typical path of executive failure without such a plan, and lays out actionable steps organizations might take immediately to reverse the trend.
