Orientation is a single event; onboarding is a process that starts during hiring and continues well after the first day. The way new hires are treated in those early weeks leaves a lasting impression that affects engagement, performance, productivity and retention.
This 60-minute employee onboarding webinar shares current strategies and tools for improving the new employee experience. You'll look at how to welcome people before they start, plan a first day that impresses, hold an entrance interview and run a 60-day new employee survey.
The session also covers helping new hires get to know the team, building an onboarding checklist, using the cost, ease and impact formula to spend wisely, onboarding software apps and ideas for remote employees.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Finding and keeping good employees is one of the biggest challenges any business faces, and onboarding is a tipping point for engagement, productivity and retention. Companies that onboard well see the difference on their bottom line, while many others leave new hires to sink or swim.
This session suits HR managers, office managers, supervisors, managers and company owners who want a practical way to make onboarding both a well-run process and a memorable event.
