Perspectives: Go from hire to high performer

Successful onboarding strategies for new hires and promotions

Did you know that approximately 30% of new employees leave their jobs within the first 90 days, often due to mismatched expectations or inadequate onboarding? Effective onboarding isn’t just a checklist—it’s a critical opportunity to engage new hires, reinforce your company culture, and set the stage for long-term success.

For HR leaders, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A well-designed onboarding process boosts productivity, accelerates time-to-performance, and strengthens retention. On the flip side, a poor experience can lead to costly turnover and disengagement.

Join us to:

  • Uncover why the first 90 days are pivotal for setting new hires up for long-term success.
  • Pinpoint critical elements of the employee selection process that must carry through into onboarding.
  • Define the essential traits of a high-performing manager-direct-report relationship.
  • Implement actionable steps to build and sustain a winning onboarding checklist.

Bonus for our live attendees… tune in live for 1 HRCI and 1 SHRM credit!
