About This Event
Onboarding is one of the most common talent development responsibilities and crucial for retention and engagement; however, onboarding programs are often considered a waste of time by all involved.
During this presentation, we will review the following topics:
- Why does onboarding matter?
- What are the most common onboarding problems and how can they be fixed?
- What do newcomers really need from onboarding?
- What are the best practices for onboarding and the keys to implementing them effectively?
- What are the onboarding pitfalls to avoid?
This presentation will answer those questions and more by sharing the results obtained from a study conducted with new hires across a variety of industries during the spring of 2022.
After attending this presentation, you will be able to:
- Validate your current onboarding best practices to continue
- Identify your current onboarding mistakes to stop
- Discover what newcomers wish you knew, so you can introduce those practices
