Onboarding is Not Orientation, Improving the Employee Experience

In this webinar, we will learn the reasons onboarding is important today. We will learn that the terms orientation and onboarding are not interchangeable. We will learn that orientation is in reality just one step in the onboarding process. We will learn that the onboarding process begins before the hire is made.Areas CoveredThe points covered in this webinar include:The cost of turnoverThe steps involved in onboarding:1. Before the hire2. During the hire3. The first day4. The first week5. The ongoing process6.

This turnover is expensive. Much of this turnover can be prevented by a proper onboarding process. The Orientation, the process of making someone an employee is no longer sufficient. When so much of a company’s success is dependent on the intellectual property that employees produce it is critical to make sure that the employee is fitting in and succeeding. This is what a successful onboarding process accomplishes. Those companies that do not do this successfully suffer lower productivity, potential loss of customers, and of course the eventual loss of the employee and the resultant replacement costs.Key Take AwayThe attendee will take away a better understanding of how the onboarding the process works today. They will understand that the old days of “orientation” is no longer sufficient.
