Onboard to Engage: Four Critical Questions to Ask Your New Hire
You’ve invested time, money, and effort – in a tough job market with fluctuating budgets and heaps of uncertainty - wooing the perfect candidates. They said yes, signed the offer, and are ready to begin. Hopes are high, onboarding begins, and…thud. Down drops engagement. Research affirms that onboarding increases feelings of commitment, engagement, and job satisfaction. Yet, per Gallup, only 12% of employees strongly agree that their organization does a great job with this critical lifecycle process. How can we in HR do better – and help our managers optimize the onboarding experience? In this fast-paced workshop, leadership strategist and author Tina Robinson offers four critical questions leaders must ask new hires to align expectations, clarify offerings, and tap into intrinsic motivation. Maximize the employee experience from day 1 – learn how to have engagement-focused conversations during onboarding that maintain the excitement from recruiting and inspire continued motivation.
Session Type: Breakout Session
Session Tracks: Modern Employee Experience
