You only get one chance at a first impression, and for a new hire that chance is onboarding. Whether you call it onboarding, induction or new employee orientation, the way you welcome and train people shapes their success and whether they stay.
This 75-minute employee onboarding training treats onboarding as a strategy that reaches well beyond day one. Good onboarding raises engagement and gets new hires productive sooner; poor onboarding brings higher turnover, lower productivity and lower profit.
You'll follow the process from the job offer through the first day with HR and the department, and look at onboarding portals, virtual employees, buddies, managing expectations, checklists and new-hire surveys.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
New hires arrive motivated but uncertain, and if they are not settled into their role, workplace and team, they may leave. A strong onboarding process matters to the success of HR and of the whole organization.
This session helps HR professionals, payroll and benefits administrators, business managers and owners bring new employees on board in person or virtually and keep them engaged.
