A practical course for anyone guiding, supporting or becoming a new leader.
Research shows that effective onboarding yields significant returns in terms of profit growth and profit margin. In the current labor market, where talent is scarce and average employee engagement hovers around 20%, the case for effective onboarding as a key lever to business performance is increasing.
Effective onboarding goes beyond the traditional orientation activities in a new employee or leader's first few weeks. It considers key outcomes, critical behaviors, and essential relationships. Effective onboarding supports new employees and leaders with timely feedback and coaching.
This course lays out a framework to help you create and operationalize an effective onboarding plan. It walks you through the process for ensuring the onboarding plan yields the results you expect. The course also offers insights into the skills that enable effective onboarding coaching.
