After the time and cost of recruiting, the job isn't done when the offer is accepted. Onboarding runs from acceptance to full integration, and a strategic onboarding program reduces turnover and helps new hires become effective sooner.
Traditional orientation often dumps policies, benefits and safety information on new hires in a day or two, causing overload. A phased approach spreads the learning and helps new employees build relationships with the people who will manage, coach and support them.
This 90-minute webinar explains the difference between onboarding and orientation, how to win leadership buy-in, and a step-by-step method for building a program, including checklists, first-day preparation, buddy programs, virtual onboarding and evaluation.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Good onboarding leads to higher job satisfaction, better performance, stronger commitment and less intent to quit. It can decide whether top new hires stay or leave after a few months.
This session suits senior management, HR, recruiting, learning and development and operations professionals, and managers and supervisors.
