Good employees are hard to find—and even harder to retain. A structured onboarding process communicates to new employees from the very beginning that they are welcomed and valued. It helps them quickly familiarize themselves with their tasks, processes, and the company. This has a long-term impact on their motivation and commitment to their organization. This training guides you in shaping the three phases of onboarding, from the moment the contract is signed to the end of the probationary period. It focuses on clearly outlining expectations, responsibilities, and processes. Key areas include advancing professional expertise, fostering team connections, and communicating the company culture at multiple levels.
