Overview of the webinar

Is your hiring and onboarding process costing you unnecessarily? Did you know….

  • Nearly 1/3 of people are job searching within six months of employment
  • Almost 1/3 of externally hired executives miss expectations in the first two years
  • With 10-15% annual attrition, companies lose about 60% of their entire talent base within four years.

Introducing an onboarding program in to your hiring process can mean the difference between retaining top employees or watching them walk out the door after several months. Companies who implement an effective onboarding program during the first three months of the new hire employment experience will have 31% less turnover than those who don’t according to the Aberdeen Group.

A strategic onboarding plan can dramatically impact your business. Investing in an onboarding process will help reduce turnover and increase new hire effectiveness. An onboarding program isn’t just a routine checklist; it should be a comprehensive process that makes the new employee as well as the company confident they made the right choice and confident they can succeed in their new job.

Why should you attend?

You have made your decision about whom to hire.  You’ve gotten them excited about their new job. You’re excited about what they can bring to your team. Now what?

Onboarding is important because it introduces the employee to the company’s culture and expectations as well as your department’s culture and expectations.  In addition, it gives the employee the vital training and information needed to succeed in their new position. This can save you and the company from a prolonged investment into the wrong person. 

An onboarding program isn’t just a routine checklist; it should be a comprehensive process that makes the new employee as well as the manager confident they made the right choice and confident they can succeed in their new job.

Also, a new hire’s compatibility or culture fit will likely be determined during the onboarding process. This can save the company and the manager from a prolonged investment into the wrong person.
