Onboarding: From Entry-Level to Senior Executive - Webinar (Recorded)

Overview

Imagine yourself walking into the office on the first day of your very first real full-time job. You are terrified. There is so much you need to learn and you are hoping you won’t make some huge embarrassing mistakes.

Imagine yourself walking into the office on the first day of your new position as Senior Vice-President of a company. You need to “hit the ground running” and aren’t even sure where to find your personal office.

Imagine yourself having accepted a position via phone and e-mail and are now about to start working from your desk in your second bedroom at home. You aren’t even sure how to communicate with anyone - or who to communicate with in this new company where almost everyone works remotely.

Imagine yourself as the HR professional responsible for creating policy and procedures to onboard all these people with different experience, needs, and wants.

What do they have in common? What are the critical differences you need to take into account in order to make each of them comfortable, as well as making sure they are legally compliant, understand and agree to company policy and procedures, respect and agree to comply with the company culture, and of course have everything they need in order to make them successful in their new jobs.

Some companies have formal New Employee Orientation Programs and we will share some of their ideas as well.

In this course we will attempt to give you enough information to effectively onboard employees at all levels into what for them is a new organization.

Why you should Attend

Because the more help you give or receive as a new employee the faster you can get up to speed and be an active contributor to your organization. This course is especially important for anyone responsible for helping another person get acclimated.
