Finding the best employees for an organization’s open positions is just the beginning. Crafting an effective onboarding program is key to transforming a new hire into a valuable team member - whether that's done in-person, virtually, or by hybrid methods. The first six months upon joining are especially crucial because 31% of all hires leave during this time frame. If you plan carefully and build out your process with specifics up front, you will improve employee retention and help create better experiences for those involved in the hiring process. This course helps you ensure that expectations align between employers and new employees from day one, so everyone starts off on the right foot.
