Most companies struggle to build and execute an onboarding process that nurtures an exceptional workplace culture. The first day of an employee's tenure has significant implications on their performance, productivity, and interpersonal relations with colleagues, direct reports, and supervisors.

If organizations want to attract and retain top talent, they need to be strategic and intentional about the cues they send employees on that crucial first day on the job. This session will teach you the most common mistakes organizations make with respect to Day 1 and provide you with practical strategies and resources for creating a powerful Day 1 experience.

After this 1-hour session, you will:

  • Understand current research about new employee preferences and expectations for the onboarding process

  • Assess their onboarding processes for strengths and vulnerabilities

  • Learn how to create a powerful Day 1 experience that improves employee engagement and retention
