    About the Session:

    Integrating new hires into a team is tricky.

    Employee onboarding usually focuses heavily on company policies and processes and on getting the new hire up to speed on their role and responsibilities, which are certainly critical. Too often, though, it’s left up to chance whether and when new employees start forming connections with their colleagues.

    In this highly interactive session, you’ll learn a few simple, free activities that you can lead that help teams - both in-person and distributed - get to know each other better. By helping new employees form these connections early, you’ll be setting them up for higher levels of engagement, improved performance, and longer retention from day one.

    During this session, we will:

    • Explore employee experience side of onboarding
    • Discuss benefits of incorporating connecting activities
    • Play and reflect on connecting activities (free, easy to do)
