How to maximise your onboarding processRenu Gundala
Most new employees decide whether they feel at home in a new job during the first three weeks of employment. Therefore, having a good onboarding process (whether virtual or not) will be key in your long-term strategy and help you to retain your top talent.
Onboarding can be time-consuming and expensive, so selecting the right talent in the initial recruitment phase can help make the process much simpler and quicker. With psychometrics, you can understand how a candidate fits into your organisation and receive guidance on an employee’s strengths and motivations to help them excel in the role.
The webinar will be a chat style webinar about how psychometrics add value to the onboarding process, and how they can help with retainment later down the line.

In fact, the best intrapreneurs are passionate about driving innovation in areas beyond their primary job responsibility.
