New Employee Onboarding Certificate: Course Info

Employee onboarding programs are among the most common training offerings that talent development professionals oversee. Effective programs to orient and prepare staff are not only essential to individual success, but they also position the organization to attract, retain, and develop top talent. However, many onboarding programs are a disconnected set of presentations and meetings that lack cohesion and measurable outcomes.

In this program, you’ll learn everything you need to create effective onboarding programs that align with organizational goals and build engagement with your new hires even before they start on their first day. Using ATD’s 5R model of employee onboarding, you’ll learn to successfully navigate the review, recruitment, role clarity, relationship building, and results phases of onboarding.
