“The more things change the more they remain insane.”

Normal, new normal, or new abnormal- no matter what you call our Covid-impacted workplaces, most organizations would benefit dramatically from an effective new employee onboarding program.

The pandemic influenced “great resignation” has made one thing abundantly clear- most employees still don’t leave their jobs; they leave their bosses! However, a great onboarding program could be the first step in reducing unplanned employee turnover and maximizing performance.

Join Dr. Gia Suggs & Hayward Suggs as they share valuable tips, tactics, and tricks to help get your workforce up to speed faster and better than the competition “and keep them there”.

Topics:

 - Difference between onboarding and “orientation”

 - Benefits of onboarding

 - Connection between organization culture and onboarding
