Onboarding is a very weak part of hiring in most organizations. This is true not only in workforce but also in the private sector and other sectors. This is a big mistake because onboarding plays a critical role in evaluating the hiring decision, how quickly the new employee gets up to speed, helping people become part of the team as fast as possible and many other things that will determine what kind of employee this person becomes.

This information will help you reduce turnover and improve employee retention.

There will also be time for questions and answers which will help with your professional development. Most supervisors are so busy and focused on the well being of their staff and the job seekers they serve, that the supervisors don’t take the time to build their skills and address their needs.
