Building An Effective Onboarding System To Maximize Employee Engagement And Productivity

Recruiting and hiring talented people is critical to the effectiveness of government, particularly as the pace of retirements accelerates. However, it is just as critical that once new employees come on board, they have a positive experience -- they are effectively oriented, engaged, trained and developed.

In this workshop, you will learn about, and apply, leading-edge onboarding practices from both the public and private sectors, including:

• What is onboarding?
• Why good onboarding is important, including research proving the link between onboarding, retention and employee engagement
• Results of focus group(s) of new hires that provide customer perspectives and case studies/examples

• Leading practices from private and public sector organizations
• Assessment and comparison of onboarding practices

• How onboarding improves employee retention
• A model onboarding process
• Techniques for successful onboarding
• How to put effective onboarding in place, and keep it in place

An organization's true strategic opportunity lies in its ability to evolve its Human Capital (HC) Management practices from focusing primarily on tactical administrative transactions to investing in areas with greater impact. The three tenets of effective management are strategically balancing the needs of people, process, and technology. Much is invested by way of technology, yet it is Human Capital that is our most valuable asset. While focused on integrating technology and process, we must not forget to align our people with evolving business needs, strategies, and long term objectives.

This interactive workshop will focus on strategies to take the role of human capital from a transaction based, administrative expert to a strategic partner, capable of designing and implementing programs that contribute towards achieving your agency's mission.

• Align people initiatives with business strategy
• Design human capital programs that contribute toward achieving your mission
• Shift the balance away from transactional administration towards business partnering
• Improve human capital capability
• Deliver tangible benefits to your business through the development and implementation of Human Capital strategies
