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.

In this inspiring session, you will design a new onboarding program built upon technology. You will discover uses for augmented reality in onboarding, explore iBeacons and how you can use them, and discuss how to flip your onboarding to make it much more social.
