Description

Overview

Here's a fact worth sitting with: half of all employees are onboarded better than the other half. And then there are the companies in the top 10% — the Great Ones. Every company's bottom line is shaped by employee engagement and productivity, both of which are directly impacted by the onboarding experience. In this fast-moving session, Don Phin delivers the latest onboarding strategies and tools — then goes further, using Claude AI live to build a real onboarding system in front of the audience: a welcome sequence, an entrance interview, a 30/60/90-day plan, and a new-hire survey, assembled step by step so attendees see exactly how to do the same with their own AI tools.

Why You Should Attened

The number one challenge facing every business is getting and keeping employees. How they're treated once hired leaves a lasting first impression — one that impacts engagement, performance, productivity, and retention for the life of their employment. Since onboarding is the tipping point for all three, you want to be a master of it. Remember: onboarding is both a process and an event.
