Introduction

Recruitment without proper orientation and onboarding is wasting time and money. This is because recruitment is not only time consuming but expensive in terms of money and resources spent in searching and selecting the potential candidates. Many employers have experienced significant turnover of newly hired employees within their first year of employment. Such high turnover is costly and highly detrimental to the productivity of the organisation. Clearly retaining employees is more important than ever.

Research has shown that employers with effective orientation and onboarding processes have been able to better control attrition rates and hence their new staff tends to stay longer.

In this one day workshop, we will show and teach you how to design an effective orientation and onboarding programme to immerse your new starters into their roles and responsibilities quickly in order to effectively contribute to your organisational success. Your new employees will be able to hit the ground running, identify with your organisation and achieve job satisfaction.
