Onboarding is NOT orientation - How to improve the New Employee Experience

Employee onboarding and orientation are not the same thing. Orientation, which simply makes a new hire an employee, is only one step in a longer onboarding process that actually begins before the hire is made.

This 60-minute webinar explains why onboarding matters today and what turnover costs. You'll walk through the onboarding steps, before the hire, during the hire, the first day, the first week and the ongoing process, and the activities that can be included at each stage to help new employees fit in and succeed.

• Explain the difference between onboarding and orientation
• Estimate the cost of employee turnover
• Plan onboarding steps that begin before the hire
• Structure the first day and first week for new employees
• Choose onboarding activities that support the ongoing process

• Why onboarding matters today
• Onboarding vs orientation
• The cost of turnover
• Onboarding steps: before the hire, during the hire, the first day, the first week and the ongoing process
• Potential onboarding activities

Half of hourly employees leave within four months of hire, and half of salaried employees leave within 18 months. Much of this costly turnover can be prevented with proper onboarding. When a company depends on what its people produce, poor onboarding means lower productivity, possible lost customers and replacement costs.

This session suits HR managers, office managers, supervisors, managers, company owners and executives.
