Skillful Talent 103: Selection and Onboarding

In order to accomplish your organization's goals, you may be tempted to select and onboard your new hires as fast as you can, with little thought given to selection and onboarding.

If so, you're not alone. All too often, organizations rely on outdated checklists to onboard new employees. These processes use a one-size-fits-all approach and make it more difficult for new hires to get up to speed. 

When you focus your onboarding on the new hire's skills, you are able to concentrate on any gaps they made have. The SHRM Foundation found that structured onboarding processes increased likelihood a new hire stays for three years by 69%. 

In SKILLFUL Talent 103: Selection and Onboarding, an interactive workshop developed by Skillful Colorado and presented by the Boulder Chamber, you'll learn how to:

• Eliminate candidates that do not meet your standards for required skills
• Facilitate discussion with everyone involved in the hiring process about the highest-scoring candidates
• Select the best candidate based on their skills
• Onboard your new hire and equip them with the tools and skills they need to succeed
