This playlist covers the basics for a successful employee onboarding.

ej4  

Losing employees comes at great costs and yields negative ripple effects. According to the Society for Human Resources Management, or SHRM, the price of losing an employee, whether it’s voluntary or involuntary, is about six months of the base salary. And it takes approximately 42 days to fill an open position. These are grim statistics, but they demonstrate the importance of keeping good employees. This starts with having an excellent onboarding program. It’s so integral that we’re focusing this entire series on how to onboard well. In this first program, we’ll go over the importance of onboarding and what a successful onboarding program consists of.

Successful Employee Onboarding: 01. The Importance of Onboarding

When you’re onboarding new employees, one of the most important steps is to have them go through a new employee orientation right at the start. But what IS orientation, how does it differ from and fit into the onboarding process, and what items should you make sure to include in your company’s orientation? In this program, we’ll talk about all those things, as well as give you an actual checklist you can use for your orientation.

Onboarding can reduce turnover and increase employee retention. It can reduce job dissatisfaction and increase employee engagement. It can reduce stress and increase productivity. All of this sounds great, but onboarding is only successful if it’s done correctly and consistently. In this program, we’ll look at some of the best practices, and specifically, what to do before the new hire starts.

Improving Employee Satisfaction

Successful Employee Onboarding: 02. Before They Start

Have you ever heard someone talk about their first day and say that it was “information overload”? That’s the experience for many people. Of course, you’re eager to get your new employee up and running, but throwing loads of information at someone in a short time frame isn’t the answer. In this program, we’ll look at the new hire checklist and see what you can do to make the first week meaningful and successful. We’ll go through a sample orientation agenda, and we’ll discuss some tips for the first week, including scheduling their days and the important paperwork that should be completed.

Successful Employee Onboarding: 04. Their First Week

We know that 20% of turnover happens within an employee’s first 45 days of employment. And we know that a good onboarding process can increase employee retention by 3 years. So, the first three months of an employee’s tenure is critical to their longevity with your organization. In this course, we’ll discuss common reasons why employees jump ship quickly. We’ll talk about some management tips for the first three months and go over some additional things to consider as you bring a new employee on board.
