Unforgettable Onboarding
Workplace Application: This session will show you how and why great onboarding strategies can help your organization avoid lagging productivity, embarrassing mistakes and costly turnover.
Onboarding is the ultimate “teachable moment”–new hires are excited and eager to learn. A great onboarding program for new employees is essential in helping them succeed in their jobs. Aligning company values and passion with the right delivery method is critical to making it unforgettable and preparing employees for success. Companies need to avoid the “one size fits all” onboarding approach, personalize the experience and take advantage of digital skills common to this new generation of hires.
