Overview
Many organizations have some form of onboarding, but programs range from basic paperwork and meet-and-greets to helping people navigate culture and the informal organization. This onboarding new hires webinar shows how to build a program that gets people productive and committed quickly.
Don't forget internal transfers. Current leaders moving into new roles also need help, because unwritten rules and politics can slow them down if no one explains how things really get done.
You'll learn six mistakes to avoid, executive onboarding best practices, three approaches to integrating new hires, and a 90-day timeline with tasks and tools to measure goals. The session also covers derailers for managers, new leaders and HR, plus focus group insights on what new leaders see as the top onboarding issues.
Why attend: Nearly a third of people are job hunting within six months of starting, and almost a third of externally hired executives miss expectations in their first two years. The Aberdeen Group reports 31% less turnover for companies with effective onboarding in the first three months. Onboarding also reveals culture fit early. The session suits CEOs, COOs, HR leaders, chief learning officers, directors, project and operations managers, supervisors, team leaders and HR professionals.
