How long should onboarding last? 4 weeks? 90 days? When designing an onboarding program we focus more on speed than stability. What if onboarding didn’t have an “exit day”? If we continue to leave new employees to figure the rest out on the job, then we continue to give learning an end date. Learn how you can take new hires from storming to performing with an everboarding strategy.

Join Amber Watts, ATD Nebraska Chapter Past President, for this virtual session as she helps you:
