Leading Onboarding and Integration of New Team Members

The first weeks in a new role decide whether a hire becomes a productive, committed team member or an early departure, yet many managers hand onboarding entirely to human resources. This course puts the manager at the centre of welcoming, orienting and integrating new staff. Participants learn to design an onboarding experience that gets new people contributing sooner and staying longer.
