Topic: Onboarding and the Great Resignation

We’re in a unique time as businesses across industries are dealing with what has been called the Great Resignation. This opens up new opportunities to approach and re-think onboarding. It is more critical than ever that new employees have positive first impressions as well as learn new skills and how to navigate new organizations quickly.

From SHRM- we have the 4 C’s of onboarding: compliance, clarification,  culture and connection. In this month’s session, we’ll be talking about connection and how to intentionally foster this for new employees.

Resources to review:

• Onboarding New Employees: Maximizing Success -  from SHRM. A quick strategy guide and case studies. Review to learn more about the 4 Cs.
• It’s not enough to hire great people; you need to graft them onto your Team – summary with video links from Ted
• How to foster belonging in the workforce – Psychology Today
• Here’s how to build a sense of belonging in the workplace – Better Up
• Employees share what gives them a sense of belong at work – Linked In
