Join AACE SF on 3/30/21 at 5PM PST for an amazing presentation from our speakers, Jake Prince and Nikki Kong.
Webinar Description: While HR typically covers compliance-based onboarding during a new hire's first week, there's more to joining an organization than learning about the company's vacation policy and signing an NDA. In fact, most onboarding and cultural acclimation isn't covered by HR at all — it's the responsibility of the new employee's hiring manager and teammates to get them up to speed. If done correctly, the first days, weeks, and months in a new role can provide the new hire with a lasting foundation for long-term success. If done poorly, it might doom the new hire from the start. From offboarding the departing employee to onboarding the new teammate, this presentation will cover what steps teams can take before, during, and after a new hire's first day to ensure they're set up for success in their project controls role.
