Business Breakfast Series Presents - Making New Employees Feel Welcomed: Understanding The Onboarding Process

Talent management means hiring the right person for the job and successfully onboarding the new hire. When employees feel part of the organization, retention and productivity are improved. This requires more than a day or a week of orientation. It could take months or a year for the new employee to form social attachments and understand the organization’s culture, and managers are key to ensuring the success of new employee onboarding programs.

Keynote Speaker: Loretta Summers, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
