Delivering a welcoming and engaging onboarding experience can positively impact your organization’s effectiveness and retention. Wendi Walker-Schmidt, Assistant Vice President of Learning and Organizational Development at National Life Group, shares best practices that will change the way you think about new employee orientation and onboarding.
Show Notes:
Wendi Walker-Schmidt shares advice on delivering effective orientation and onboarding programs that engage new hires and improve retention. Her key points include:
- Acknowledge that new team members may have anxiety, fear, and excitement when they start at a new company. L&D professionals can boost their chances of success with a strong and welcoming experience.
- Don't overload new hires with too much information during orientation. Consider rolling out information over a defined period of time to make it more digestible and relevant.
- Onboarding is not a one-time event. Think about it as creating a first-year experience that builds engagement in stages as employees performs their jobs.
