Course Description

As the workplace evolves, so do the challenges in engaging and onboarding new hires—especially when done virtually.

Today’s environment offers exciting opportunities to reimagine onboarding processes that are here to stay.

This 90-minute webinar will guide you through:

    • Onboarding strategies that seamlessly blend virtual and in-person approaches.
    • Techniques to reduce new hire jitters and ensure a smooth transition, no matter where your team is based.
    • How to keep new employees excited and connected from day one, through fun activities and a strategic use of buddies.

Key Highlights:

    • Onboarding (or New Employee Orientation, NEO) is not a one-day event but a journey that begins once an offer is accepted and continues well into the first year.
    • Research shows that new hires are most concerned about three things: their job, their boss, and their coworkers.
    • Learn how to build a virtual onboarding program that addresses these concerns while fostering connection and productivity.
    • Discover how virtual onboarding can offer the same, if not more, engagement as in-person sessions through interactive tools and creative onboarding techniques.
    • Onboarding is an investment in your new employees’ success—done right, it will set the stage for a long-term, positive relationship with your company.

Don’t miss out on this critical training to ensure your new hires are set up for success—whether they are working in the office or remotely!

Here’s why attending this session is a game-changer:

    • Boost productivity by ensuring that new hires are properly oriented to their role, team, and culture. The skills and insights you’ll gain from this webinar will help you implement onboarding processes that reduce time-to-productivity, no matter where your employees are located.
    • In the era of virtual work, onboarding is no longer a one-size-fits-all process. This webinar equips you with the knowledge to design tailored onboarding experiences that foster connection and enthusiasm in remote, hybrid, and in-person settings.

By attending, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies to streamline onboarding, keep new hires engaged, and reduce turnover—ultimately creating a stronger, more resilient workforce.
