Overview
Who is this for?
Retail or Catering Managers who are in the process of hiring and onboarding new employees.
Why should I take part?
Many people who recruit new staff in their roles will recognise spending a lot of time and effort in finding the right candidate for a job. After countless interviews, you’ve found the right person, and their first day has finally arrived. Everything seems to be going fine, but after a few months, things change and maybe they’ll leave. Choosing the right candidate is hard enough, but integrating and retaining new employees proves even more difficult.
A good onboarding process leads to faster integration of new employees while decreasing costs. Replacing an employee costs on average an organisation between 50% to 150% of the departing employee’s annual salary.
Successful onboarding also has a positive effect on employer branding. In the first weeks of starting a new job, friends, family and former colleagues will ask who the new employer is. As an organisation, you want this first impression to be the best. With proper onboarding, new employees will immediately share a positive impression of the company, within their direct network.
