Learning Solutions Conference & Expo 2015 - March 25, 2015

A new employee’s onboarding is one of the most important learning events in an employee’s career. However, lots of organizations fail to set up a true learning-focused onboarding program. They tend to handle it like stuffing a turkey on Thanksgiving, with lots and lots of information in a very short timeframe. Instead of inspiring new members of the team, they kill motivation by using boring presentations and eReading instead of eLearning. In today’s workplace, we have a lot of tools and technology that can add value and that will greatly improve this critical learning moment.
