21mar10:00 am- 11:00 amDeveloping an Effective Onboarding Program10:00 am - 11:00 am online eventonline eventEvent Organized By: NetZealous LLC, DBA TrainHR

Event Details

The TrainHR Course is approved by HRCI and SHRM Recertification Provider.

Overview:

Why is proper onboarding so important? Your organization, and the applicants who want you to hire them, invest a great deal of time and resources in the hiring process.

During the selection stage, the hiring manager will make the decision to extend an offer of employment with the assumption that the applicant will fit in and be an effective performer who is satisfied in the position and committed to your organization. The applicant accepts a job based on the same assumption.It follows, then, that onboarding is an important subsequent step in solidifying those decisions. It increases the likelihood of achieving the organization’s expected outcomes, i.e.,effective job performance, job satisfaction, and commitment to your organization.

An effective employee handbook outlines the benefits and responsibilities of the employment relationship. The purpose of the handbook is much more complex and powerful than employers may realize. A solid onboarding program assists organizations in attracting and retaining top talent, engaging employees early on, boosts business growth, builds trust and alignment, forges connections with employees, encourages open communication, and decreases turnover.

Sounds easy to achieve, right? The reality is successfully onboarding new hires for long-term happiness and productivity can be extremely challenging. A successful new hire orientation process requires planning, execution, and follow-up of learning experiences with the new employee from the first contact. And the process doesn’t end there.Ongoing interaction with the new employee is essential.

Organizations could also experience additional challenges when developing an effective onboarding program. These challenges include preparation costs to the inability to personalize training and orientation. Don’t short-change your new hires, and your organization, by not taking the time to develop a successful onboarding program in order to effectively welcome new hires onboard.

Why should you Attend:Employee orientation is the process of introducing employees to their new jobs and work environments. Orientation provides an opportunity for new employees to become acclimated to their new company, department, colleagues and work expectations. Research has supported the idea that effective onboarding can have a dramatic effect on job performance and satisfaction, organizational commitment, and retention. Recent evidence also suggests that a poor organizational socialization process can result in a new hire’s emotional exhaustion and job burnout.

It is important to make sure the employment relationship starts off on the right foot, since the first experiences of a new employee in your organization are critical.

If executed correctly, a successful onboarding program will maximize your new employees’ understanding of their specific roles and responsibilities, boost their confidence, and help them to become active and welcome participants in your organization and its unique culture. This webinar will outline the steps to developing an effective employee orientation program that will lay the foundation for new employees’ entire careers.

13:15 – 14:15	Session 1: Charlotte Dhal, Woodreed – Internal Communication Love ‘em or loath ‘em, ads become part of our public consciousness, become part of our language. Think comparethemarket.com’s ‘Simples’ or Tesco’s ‘Every little helps’. More than this, advertising can save lives, improve lives, move people; it can bring people together and be a force for good as well as creating value, driving sales and delivering fame. Charlotte believes there’s much we as managers and leaders can learn by taking the techniques of the ad industry, then adapting them to help improve the way we communicate to our people. Her talk explores the following topics: Emotional v rational engagement The power of storytelling Learnings from neuroscience Tone of voice Understanding your audience How to keep comms focused and on track. Session 2: Danielle Macleod, Somebody Inside- The Case for Heart Centered Leadership The idea that we could and should lead with our hearts sounds great for our souls and it can raise concerns. We want to bring more of our heart to business, but we wonder if it means we look a bit soft and uncommercial. We want to know how to do it and create results. In this session, Danielle shares her story of how she led 10,000 people through a journey to improve customer service results by 140% in three years and what it could mean for all of us. She’ll reveal why learning to trust our humanity before worrying about profit leads to higher engagement, trust, loyalty, better results and a deep sense of love for what we do. We’re all longing for more heart centered leaders in the world. It’s time to stop waiting and simply become one.
14:20 – 15:20	Session 3: Ali Miller, The Career Leap – Lead On LinkedIn Interested to learn how LinkedIn can support your leadership objectives and the aims of your organisation? Or perhaps you have a sizable network but are unsure how to nurture/activate your community? Then this is the session for you.

Session 4: Barbara Chidgey, Learning Pathways- Engaging Leadership The workshop will explore just what is “engaging leadership” and how it can be truly transformational. It will be practical and will facilitate the learning of attendees in a conversational manner rather than being in “lecture style.” The session will: Explore leadership, particularly transformational leadership with participants in an active way Relate to appropriate theoretical leadership model(s) Introduce and explain the concept of “conversational leadership” Connect transformational and conversational leadership to develop understanding that together they are “leadership that engages” Conclude with attendees defining their own “take-away” actions from the workshop Session 5: Kate Cooper, Institute of Leadership and Management- Being an authentic leader- everyday“ Acting with integrity and fairness in all decision making and being open and honest builds trust. Authentic leaders are consistent in their practice, putting professional interest before personal gain. Institute of Leadership & Management research shows that authentic leaders can be identified by what they do not do as much as by what they do. Kate Cooper shares some of the findings of this research revealing what we really think about the authenticity of the leaders and managers we work with. The important thing about authentic leadership is that we are fleetingly looking in the right place for leadership ability, it is not a trait or form of competence but focuses on what lies between people” – Professor Charles Hampden -Turner, Management Philosopher and Companion of the Institute of Leadership & Management Session 6: Iain Jardine– Mission: Engagement Mission: Engagement is an interactive event where participants learn, through experience, the best practices in Team Engagement from Military Operations. This session starts with a keynote talk on the principles of team engagement before you are placed in the shoes of Military Officers to plan and brief a simulated Military Mission as a team. It is during this simulation that the Mission: Engagement techniques come to the fore, with lives depending on you and under time pressure you will have to work as a team to achieve your Mission. On completion of the exercise the team come together and reflect to draw out the important lessons learnt from the exercise, carrying out the important Mission Debrief. The debrief is critical, as this is how high performance teams reach and stay at the top of their game, identifying lessons learnt which can and must be fed back into future planning cycles.
15:20 – 15:30	Break
15:30 – 16:15	Session 7: Eva Newberry, Equifax – Leadership in a VUCA world This new BQF initiative was aimed at getting member organisations to investigate issues which companies, irrespective of sector or size, were experiencing. “Helping Leaders respond to VUCA” provided a unique opportunity for the group to investigate and challenge how leaders experience the VUCA environment and how their organisational agility impacted their ability to communicate effectively. We analysed how leaders could be successful when challenged in this area and whether BAU as an organisational state of operation still exists. We used key resource documents as part of our analysis and investigation. We challenged whether the effects of VUCA were always negative and looked at how to respond to different scenarios, leader characteristics and the chemistry of the organisation and how this impacted successful or negative outcomes.
16:15 – 16:30	Round up and Awards Promotion
