Conference Session: T1
T1 / Onboard, online, on time: How new technology is helping companies turn new hires into productive, engaged employees in record time
Date: Tuesday, 24 June
Time: 10–11:15 a.m.
Track: Employee Communication
It’s an experience most employees remember all too well—initial excitement about a new job being washed away by a tidal wave of obligatory forms and bureaucracy. Understanding the jargon, culture and insider tips that long-time employees take for granted is trickier still. While these situations may be potentially humorous, bottom-line productivity is at stake.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- Technology techniques that innovative companies are using to speed up, simplify and improve that critical period from offer letter through the first 30 days of employment
- Workflow and online forms that consolidate the work of multiple departments
- Ways social media tools allow new hires to connect with seasoned insiders
