What an effective onboarding strategy can do for your organization
Recorded - January 24, 2007

Do you know the fastest way to make your new hires productive? Engage them before they arrive for their first day of work. Studies show that engaging employees from the moment they are hired -- even before they walk in the front door -- makes new hires productive sooner, reduces costs and improves retention.

The average company takes more than 40 days to get new employees up to full productivity, while most employees who leave decide to do so in the first six months.

View this recorded forum to learn:

  • The importance of an onboarding strategy.
  • How ineffective onboarding loses thousands of productive work days per year for employees and supervisors.
  • How the use of technology-based onboarding solutions can speed up time to reach full productivity and increase employee retention.
