Retaining Key Leaders in Tough Times through Effective Onboarding

Course Description:

In a stalling economy, it’s key to know what the business critical roles are within your organization and to ensure that your best talent is in those positions.

By aligning your talent to the immediate business priorities and external market conditions you can ensure the business not only survives but emerges stronger than the competition. 

When money’s tight, it’s easy to put a blanket freeze on recruitment.  But you need to be cautious about halting recruitment completely, as there will inevitably be a need for outside talent where there are gaps in the internal talent pipeline, particularly if these gaps exist for business critical roles.

Statistics show that the failure rate of newly hired and promoted leaders ranges from 40 to 60 percent.  In fact, 1 in 3 externally hired leaders are underperforming within two years; and 21 percent of executives transferred internally fail to meet expectations within the first two years.

So, after your organization has sunk several thousand dollars into recruiting, interviewing, assessing and relocating a key leader why would you leave their onboarding up to chance?

Join CCM and our expert faculty in this must-attend audio conference to learn:

• Why the right onboarding plan is critical to ensuring your new leaders not only stay with your organization, but succeed in their new role. 
• How to quickly assimilate new leaders into your company’s culture.
• Key techniques to ensure your new leaders clearly understand employee hierarchies and the functional objective of their new role.

By the end of this 75-minute audio conference, you‘ll also know how to:

• Implement effective tools and plans into your leadership onboarding strategy to speed up “time to productivity” of new managers
• Utilize fast and effective socialization strategies to accelerate engagement
• Work with new leaders to help them implement a successful communication strategy
• Apply best practices for transfer of critical knowledge (company and role)
• Make the business case for leadership onboarding to senior management
• Market onboarding responsibilities beyond the hiring manager
• Measure your success with onboarding performance metrics
