The Essential Rules for a Successful Onboarding
Description
Did you know that most employees decide to leave a job within their first 18 months with an organization? When an employee does leave, it usually costs about three times their salary to replace them. You can greatly increase the likelihood that a new employee will stay with you by implementing a well-designed onboarding program that will guide the employee through their first months with the company.
This workshop will explore the benefits of onboarding, show you how to design an onboarding framework, give you ways to customize the program for different audiences, and demonstrate how to measure results from the program.
In this 2-hour session, participants will learn how to:
-
Define onboarding and describe how it is different from orientation
-
Identify the business benefits of onboarding
-
List the factors that contribute to a successful onboarding program
-
Design a framework for an onboarding program
-
Customize your onboarding framework
-
Identify which metrics you should track to evaluate program results
