After all the time and money spent finding the right hire, the work isn't over on day one. This 90-minute onboarding program webinar shows how to keep 'recruiting' new employees through their critical first months.
Onboarding runs from offer acceptance to full integration. Traditional orientation dumps policies, benefits and safety information on the first day, which overloads new hires. A phased approach builds relationships with the people who will manage, coach and support them, and helps them gain the knowledge, skills and behaviors to succeed.
You'll learn the difference between onboarding and orientation, a step-by-step build process, checklists, pre-start preparation, roles for HR, managers and IT, buddy programs, virtual onboarding, feedback and evaluation.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Effective onboarding leads to higher job satisfaction, better performance, stronger commitment, less stress and lower intent to quit. It can decide whether top new hires stay or leave after a few months, and it shows that the company values its people.
This session suits senior management, HR, recruiting, learning and development and operations professionals, managers and supervisors who want to reduce turnover and help new hires become effective faster.
