Home > Why the New Employee Experience is Like a First Date

SHRM 2015 Talent Management Conference & Exposition
Workplace Application: You will learn how you can make meaningful connections with new-hires from day one so they stay and thrive.
PowerPoints/Handouts Available

Anxiety, second-guessing, excitement, enthusiasm, and anticipation... these are the feelings just before a first date. They are also the feelings new employees have as they are entering your organization. Are you reassuring these employees and letting them know they made a good decision by joining you? Or is your onboarding process like a date gone wrong?  In this presentation, Don MacPherson will draw the parallels between the first date and new employee onboarding experiences. You will learn:

  • How to engage new employees from the beginning – even before their first day. 
  • Best practices for learning new-hires' personal engagement drivers.
  • How you and your managers can follow through on delivering the engaging culture that was promised to your new-hires.
