Workplace Application:
You will learn how you can make meaningful connections with new-hires from day one so they stay and thrive.
Anxiety, second-guessing, excitement, enthusiasm, and anticipation... these are the feelings just before a first date. They are also the feelings new employees have as they are entering your organization. Are you reassuring these employees and letting them know they made a good decision by joining you? Or is your onboarding process like a date gone wrong? In this presentation, Don MacPherson will draw the parallels between the first date and new employee onboarding experiences. You will learn:
- How to engage new employees from the beginning – even before their first day.
- Best practices for learning new-hires' personal engagement drivers.
- How you and your managers can follow through on delivering the engaging culture that was promised to your new-hires.
