Welcome to the Frontpage
Join us at our February 10th, 2012 PACT meeting! "Effective Onboarding: What does it look like?"

Program Details: Effectively onboarding new associates into an organization, while always an important initiative, has taken on strategic significance in today’s volatile economy where the margin for error is small, competition is intense, and employees’ ability to do the right thing at the right speed is paramount for a business to stay ahead. As a result, today’s new hire onboarding initiatives go far beyond orientation or social networking; they elevate new hires’ competence, confidence and commitment to deliver results.

So what do successful companies do to ramp up their new associates? How can we put the support systems in place to ensure sustainable performance results? And just as importantly, how do we secure such strategic investments in a challenging budgeting environment? Join this interactive session to discuss examples, share your experiences, and explore strategies for maximizing sustainable impact with your new hire training initiatives.
