DETAILS: An effective onboarding process is critical to speed time-to-productivity, reduce new hire turnover, ensure compliance and socialize new employees to policies and culture. Unfortunately, many employers are challenged with onboarding processes that involve dozens of steps and software systems -- and often leave new employees with a feeling of disconnect on their first day.

In this session, Chhabra and McKenzie will discuss the strategies and advantages of Web-based onboarding -- including forms management, task orchestration and most important, socialization. In addition, to be discussed is Fox's vision and deployment of a Web-based onboarding portal that engage employees with a personalized onboarding experience, improve new hire retention and build employer brand.
