Overview:

 

As we emerge from the pandemic era and adapt to a new normal, the landscape of workplace integration continues to evolve. Organizations are now blending virtual and in-person strategies to onboard new hires effectively, which reflects a significant shift from the emergency remote work measures previously adopted. This hybrid approach not only addresses the logistical complexities introduced by the pandemic but also capitalizes on the technological advancements that have proven effective during remote work periods.

 

Onboarding—whether termed Induction, Enculturation, or New Employee Orientation (NEO)—is crucial for acclimating new employees. This process is essential for instilling a sense of belonging and preparing them for their roles, irrespective of their physical work settings. A well-structured onboarding process extends beyond the first day at work and spans the entire first year, crucially impacting an employee's effectiveness and satisfaction.

 

This webinar will delve into how organizations can successfully navigate this mixed environment of virtual and in-person onboarding. It will discuss innovative methods that ensure new hires feel connected and supported, whether they are stepping into the office or logging in from home. We will explore dynamic onboarding activities that are engaging and effective, employing strategies such as "buddies" to facilitate a smooth transition.
