Overview

Onboarding is a new approach to employee orientation that goes beyond just settling your employees in. It engages, integrates and gets your new hires productive quicker - directly improving retention rates and the overall success of your organization.

Research shows that a systematic comprehensive onboarding process is good business. In fact, formal onboarding increases the chance of keeping a new employee for at least 3 years by 69% and one study showed employees were productive two months earlier with an effective program. Employees get up to speed quicker and stay on the job longer when their first-year experience is well managed.

You need to engage your new employees with great pre-boarding and show them what makes your workplace culture unique-even from a distance. You need to help them build the right relationships and showcase their talent and experience from their very first projects. More importantly, you need to make them feel at home with the right resources and support.

Why you should Attend

You invest both time and money recruiting and hiring the best. Don't waste it all on ineffective orientation practices - keep your new employees around for the long haul by giving them the best start possible - a personalized onboarding experience. Statistics show that half of all hourly employees leave the job within four months of hire and half of all salaried employees leave their jobs within 18 months. This turnover is expensive. Much of this turnover can be prevented by a proper orientation and onboarding process.
