Introduction

A successful onboarding program can be the difference between an employee’s success and their resignation. Being equipped with the best onboarding practices can make employees over 50% more likely to stay with an organization beyond their first five years, while having to replace an employee who leaves within their first year costs the company an average of three times their salary. Knowing how to engage a new hire is a collaborative effort between the company and employee that ultimately leads to higher productivity, retention, and satisfaction in the workplace. Onboarding is a fundamental factor in any hiring process, with long-term benefits for everyone involved, that starts even before the new hire does.

Our onboarding courseware has been created for anyone looking to capitalize on the benefits of quickly and effectively engaging new staff. Participants examine the hiring process from start to finish, including recruitment, pre-orientation programs, and onboarding; how to design, customize and create an onboarding framework; how to create and engage a collaborative onboarding team; and how to measure their unique new onboarding program’s results in the workplace through annual reviews. Our courseware is completely customizable for trainers who may want to focus on particular aspects of onboarding over others.
