The Unspoken Rules of Succeeding in a New Job: A Call to Action for L&D

Most onboarding and talent mobility programs focus on tasks.

But thriving in a new role takes more than just knowing what to do. It requires understanding expectations, building trust quickly, and taking initiative from day one.

These “unspoken rules” often separate early high performers from those who struggle, yet they’re rarely addressed in traditional onboarding strategies.

It’s time for L&D to change that. 

Join Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Harvard career advisor, and CrossKnowledge faculty member Gorick Ng for a live fireside chat on what it really takes to set up talent for early success—and how L&D teams can bridge the gap in onboarding and mobility programs. 

Drawing from his research and exclusive new course series with CrossKnowledge, Gorick will share practical, scalable strategies to help new hires ramp up faster, build confidence, and avoid common early missteps.

In this conversation, hosted by our Organisational Development Strategist Andre Scholtz, we’ll explore how to:

• Identify the missing layer in traditional onboarding and why it matters
• Address the invisible barriers that hinder early success
• Empower learners to take ownership, build trust, and deliver value quickly
• Apply a proven framework to accelerate readiness across functions and regions
