STILLWATER, Okla. – An employee's first and last days at a workplace say a lot about the company's culture.
Research shows that new hires decide in the first six months whether to stay with your organization or not, and effective onboarding greatly influences their decision. Conversely, in an employee's final days, they need to be provided clarity and communication about expectations, so employees preserve their positive feelings and protect your organization's employer brand.
Are your processes efficient and meaningful?
On October 11, as part of the Lunchtime Learning series co-sponsored by the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce and Meridian Technology Center, Lorinda Schrammel and Stephanie Moore will help attendees answer that question in their session, "First Impressions to Final Farewells: Creating Impactful Experiences for Incoming and Outgoing Employees.”
This interactive session will guide participants on practical ways to strengthen how you navigate team members through onboarding and offboarding. They will also provide resources that will encourage you to create simple, clear and meaningful exchanges so you can concentrate on the person, not the transaction.
