Orientation, or onboarding, is the first step in retention. An integrated orientation program creates an immediate connection between new hires and the organization. Onboarding is far more than mere logistics. New hires do not fully commit to their new organizations for up to two months after starting. Orientation is the glue that cements the employment decision and confirms for the new hire that they have made the right decision. Today’s new hires need more than just a paycheck to convince them to stay. Learn how to rapidly transition new hires into productive contributors and re-invigorate current staff.
