MPP Series: Onboarding New Employees (10/16)

Announced on: Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025

Start Strong. Lead Better. Retain Longer.

Effective onboarding is more than a checklist—it's a strategic opportunity to shape your team's success from day one. In this course, managers will explore how onboarding plays a pivotal role in building organizational culture, boosting employee engagement, and driving long-term retention.

Join us as we dive into the core components of a successful onboarding experience, including welcoming strategies, connection-building techniques, and ongoing development practices. The course also covers how to evaluate and select the right tools and resources to support onboarding across in-person, remote, and hybrid environments.

By the end, managers will be equipped to articulate the value of onboarding, apply effective strategies, and create adaptable, role-specific plans that foster an environment of commitment, inclusion, and growth.
