Graduate School Onboarding Course: Improving Retention Through Strategic Onboarding
While many organizations understand that making a favorable first impression through the recruitment process is immensely important, this good impression is often not reinforced during a new hire’s first year on the job. That’s why it’s critical to adopt a strategic onboarding approach – to make sure you effectively integrate new employees into your organization and equip them to become successful and productive. Through a new course offered by the Partnership for Public Service and the Graduate School, learn to increase retention, build a sense of community with new employees, communicate job procedures more quickly, and how to develop an onboarding model designed around your organization's mission, vision and values.
