Summer Reading Author Q&A: Successful Onboarding with Lilith Christiansen
Subpar or rushed onboarding can leave new employees feeling disengaged, overwhelmed, stunted and looking for greener pastures outside company walls. In fact, almost a third of employees employed in their current job for fewer than six months are already job searching.1
A few days of orientation alone isn’t sufficient to adequately engage new hires and get them off to a fast start. With the war for corporate talent in full swing, it’s time to take a fresh approach. Effective onboarding programs provide a faster track to productivity, while also building strong employee relationships. Essentially, they’re win-win solutions.
In this webinar, we chat with author Lilith Christiansen as she shares insights of the circumstances that determine new hire success stories as well as disappointing and costly failures. She provides:
- Case studies from personal experiences leading many onboarding redesign initiatives at top companies
- Results from their examination of onboarding practices employed by a large number of Fortune 500 organizations
- Ways to measure the success of strategic onboarding programs
