Both research and common sense tell us it's wise to invest in preparing employees to be successful at their jobs. Despite this, many organizations approach the onboarding process at a level they would never tolerate in their daily operations.
The goal of this workshop is to challenge you to take an honest look at your onboarding and management processes to determine whether they lead to high employee engagement or "buyer's remorse."
In this program, we will explore key principles and practices that Employer of Choice companies—like Southwest Airlines, Ritz Carlton, and Northeast Delta Dental—do to create a welcoming, engaging new hire orientation and onboarding program that lays the foundation for employee success.
- How to communicate the importance of onboarding to key stakeholders
- The critical role effective onboarding plays in employee engagement
- The psychology behind getting onboarding right: what you need to know about human nature if you want to prepare your employees to for maximum engagement and productivity
- How to use Ritz Carlton’s “secret weapon” to make your orientation program more inspiring and interesting
- How to avoid common onboarding mistakes most employers make that diminish engagement and drive new hires out the door
- The key “differences that make the difference” between successful and unsuccessful programs.
- How to use “The Designer’s Mind Set” to analyze and uplevel each step of the new hire experience
- How to create a new program from scratch and how to refine and improve an existing program
