The First 90 Days: How to Effectively Onboard Development Team Members in an In-Person, Virtual & Hybrid World
Michelle Turman, MA, CFRE
With up to 20% of employee turnover occurring among new hires within the first 45 days of their employment, creating and implementing a first 90 days plan is crucial to ensuring employee retention and reduced recruitment and onboarding costs. In fact, 69% of employees say they’re more likely to stay with a company when they receive an effective onboarding process. So, it goes without saying that a 90 day plan is essential to keeping a long-term team member, particularly if your organization is functioning as in-person, virtual or a hybrid world.
Whether you’re a new employee making a plan during the interview process, or a team leader making a plan for your new hire, a first 90 days plan should set a roadmap of expectations that aligns with the hiring process. It should direct a new employee’s actions for those first few months, and decrease the risk of them choosing to leave.
In this session, members will learn how to:
- Embrace in-person, virtual and hybrid talent tools for hiring, onboarding, and retention.
- Key components of a successful onboarding plan
- Develop a sense of place, community, and culture
- Invest in professional development as part of the cost of hiring and retention
