AAMP Hosts FREE Webinar on Feb. 8: How to Retain & Engage New Employees Through Great Onboarding

The webinar will take place on Wednesday, February 8, at 2:00 PM EST.
The American Association of Meat Processors and HR expert Oliver Lee Mincey of S+O Coaching LLC are teaming up for a webinar on February 8. This event, the fourth webinar between the two, will help focus on the process of welcoming new employees to a team. “How to Retain and Engage New Employees Through Great Onboarding” will start at 2:00 ET and run for 90 minutes.

Once recruited and hired, how does an employee who just walked through your company's doors become satisfied with their new job, perform better, be all in (engaged) and have a lower intent to quit? By developing and implementing a highly effective new employee onboarding program.

You can take a variety of approaches to onboarding new team members based on your organization's culture. Some companies focus on building social bonds (really great idea), while others leave people to figure it out on their own (probably a bad idea). Some follow a set process for orientation (good idea), while others have a “sink or swim” approach (really bad idea).

The goal of a great onboarding program should be to introduce foundational elements that employees can build on throughout their career – those that influence their performance over decades not quarters. In fact, studies have shown that onboarding activities lead to positive outcomes for new employees. These include higher job satisfaction, better job performance, greater organizational commitment (high engagement and less "quiet quitting"), and reduction in occupational stress and intent to quit.

In this 90-minute live online coaching experience, you will gain the instructions and tools you need to create an effective onboarding program in your company including learning about:
  • The four pillars of a great onboarding program
  • The five questions to answer for every new employee to have a successful onboarding program and better ensure their success
  • The new employee onboarding checklist and how to implement it right away
