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.

In this session we will discuss:

Differences between orientation and onboarding
The business case for onboarding
Components of an effective onboarding process
Roles and responsibilities
Virtual onboarding
Metrics
