What outcomes are we trying to achieve with new employee onboarding, and who is ultimately responsible for achieving those outcomes? Effective onboarding has been shown to be a major factor in long-term work satisfaction for employees, and it is strongly correlated with likelihood of turnover in the first year on the job. Despite its importance, most organizations and managers give little thought to exactly how an employee’s first day, week, and month should proceed.
In this interactive workshop, speaker Ben Mead-Harvey will lead a deep-dive into the most effective way to onboard new employees including:
- Setting the stage for success with a great welcome
- Planning and executing the first week
- Effective check-in meetings: more than going through the motions
Participants will get a detailed, evidence-based breakdown of each key to successful onboarding and walk away with action items they can immediately put into practice.
