Strengthen Your Acquisition and Retention Efforts Through EverboardingTraditional onboarding is a relic of the past. That frantic sprint to get new hires “up to speed,” followed by a deafening silence, often falls short. What if, instead, you could create a seamless, ongoing journey of growth and development from the day an employee starts and throughout their tenure—an everboarding experience? Employees say they need to develop new skills to be successful at their job, and many will look for another job if not offered development opportunities. In this book, leading HR talent strategy and everboarding expert Amber Watts offers solutions to help you shift your organization’s mindset that onboarding has an “exit day” and embrace a culture of continuous learning. It guides you through building a dynamic everboarding strategy that fosters long-term employee engagement, accelerates performance, and strengthens your talent acquisition and retention efforts. Inside, you’ll discover how to personalize and elevate the onboarding experience to move beyond generic checklists and create customized journeys that resonate with individual needs, jobs, and roles. Smooth the transition from onboarding to manager by defining clear expectations and creating a seamless handoff process to ensure ongoing support and development. Equip managers to be continuous development partners and provide them with the tools and resources they need to effectively coach, mentor, and guide their employees throughout their careers. And cultivate a growth mindset, encouraging new hires and existing employees to embrace lifelong learning and growth. This book also includes three case studies that capture the different stages of everboarding and offer ideas for how to implement an everboarding strategy yourself, no matter your company’s industry or size.Perfect for HR and L&D leaders seeking to transform their onboarding and employee development programs, this book provides actionable strategies and practical advice you can implement immediately. Stop treating onboarding like a sprint and start building a marathon of growth and success.

From Onboarding to Everboarding
