Choosing the Right Inputs for Onboarding Success

This hands-on workshop will focus on specific case examples from Google including extensive time for interactivity. In addition, it will offer participants tools to design onboarding inputs within their own organizations. We will cover best onboarding practices including how to maximize the four Cs of compliance, clarification, culture and connection during new employee onboarding. Participants will also be given techniques to help them work with the momentum of new hires rather than against it in order to create positive adjustment trajectories.
