Conference Description:

This training program will discuss a new employee’s role in his/her orientation and difference between orientation to the organization and orientation to the department. The program will also explain gap analysis, force field analysis, and SWOT analysis in assessing your organization’s onboarding requirements.

Why Should You Attend:

Whether you call it onboarding, induction, enculturation, or new employee orientation (NEO), the process used to welcome and train your new employees while capturing their excitement of a new job and reducing their new job jitters is critical to their success. NEO is not a one day event, but rather a process that begins after their acceptance of the job and extends through the first year of their employment. Studies show that the new arrival's primary concerns are three things--my job, my boss, and my coworkers. Dealing with new employee jitters and uncertainties is a high priority in orientation programs. How long this psychological mayhem lasts may depend a great deal on employee orientation. It is estimated that 50% to 60% of new hires quit within the first seven months of their employment.

This webinar will emphasize how a comprehensive onboarding process plays a pivotal role in catalyzing your new hire’s engagement into their new role, responsibilities, and the organization. This process can help new recruits reach productivity a full two months sooner, they are likely to be tenured, function as a team member quicker, less likely to quit, and more likely to be an active member of the organization. All of this equates to huge financial savings for the organization.
