Description

Learn how to design an effective onboarding process for remote and onsite employees, and what metrics & KPIs to use to measure its success.

Course Overview

An effective onboarding program assists your new remote employees in acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective members of the organization. In addition to dotting all the compliance i’s and crossing all the paperwork t’s, onboarding should also help new hires, especially remote employees, feel like a valuable member of the team.

Traditional orientation programs usually consist of a data dump of information (policies and procedures, benefits information, safety information, etc.) on the new hire’s first or second day on the job. This one-stop, one-time approach results in an information overload problem for your new employee and can lead to disengagement.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss how to design a phased approach that enables new employees (both remote and onsite) to build relationships with co-workers and with those who will have a part in managing, coaching, mentoring, and supporting them.
