Good ideas for starting an onboarding plan and ideas to being. Will come in use as I develop a plan

Callie - good article - onboarding should start with the first click - I was reviewing my company's website today and for the career section, it's down until the 10th, not a good sign for those seeking opportunities with FFIC.

All employees experience some type of onboarding, although the formality and comprehensiveness of onboarding programs varies widely across organizations.

Short clip on having a successful succession planning...which starts early.

It is about being proactive and planning before the need arises. Often, employees leave and then the organization is left trying to figure out how to replace a critical role because there is no one identified to succeed the employee who left.

Correct...I have seen that to many times.

I am a Disney fan but now knowing a person who works there and seeing their on boarding process (via this website) it is no wonder that they are such a huge and successful company.   The website goes through, what looks like, everything a person would need to know in getting started at Disney.   I could see how helpful a website such as this would be to almost any profession.  Disney obviously has enough money to produce this website and keep it current, but I do not think that would be too hard or expensive for a school district, police agency, banking industry, military, or many other professions to implement.

My niece just completed an intership this summer with Disney. She was pleasantly surprised by how comprehensive the website and training was for interns. Eventhough she was scheduled to intern for six months, everything about the training and experience won her over to want to be a lifetime employee of Disney. Many companies could learn from this model.

I heard that the first two days of employee orientation is strictly story telling. They use the 'cast' members to acclimate employees to the Disney culture using stories. I feel like this is really in sync with Disney culture and would also be a very effective way to get employee excited about their role in the bigger Disney 'story'.

Some key points for large organizations to have a strategy for leadership building: Never Hire in Panic, Plan for the Future & Get Everyone Involved. 

It really is about the partnership between HR and Leadership. This was a good read!

With strong competition prevalent for all levels of talented professionals, it's no surprise that employee retention is a key initiative for many organizations across the board. 

Really like these ideas and I think they can be tweaked for any job role. Especially the prep before the employee starts and their first days. We need this where I work

Create template design for new employee onboarding

Good foundation to start from using the information in this article.

Some small businesses go beyond the standard orientation, raising retention and productivity.
