Course Introduction

For leaders and practitioners seeking to develop leading-edge practices, this masterclass provides the insights, concepts and methods to address the complexities associated with the World of Work. Whether you are a business or HR leader, employee engagement or learning and development specialist or HRBP, this masterclass is essential for those who believe onboarding is critical to a company’s brand reputation, productivity and retaining valuable resources.

The research is detailed; not all onboarding programmes are as effective as they should be. It is not as simple as cutting and pasting best practices from others. Of course, while these practices stimulate creative thinking, one of the keys to success is the ability to create differentiation. Creating highly effective onboarding programmes has become vital in a marketplace where demand is outpacing supply, and because successful business outcomes rely on the performance of people-related practices.

The richness of this masterclass is a combination of the pioneering logic of outliers, practical coaching experience and practices used by high-performing organisations. During this masterclass, we share critical insights and describe the essential building blocks for designing and enabling highly effective onboarding programmes and experiences.

There are many internal and external complexities, everchanging and perplexing. However, leaders who excel are the ones who are passionate about their personal growth and who shine a light on how to overcome complexities and maximise ROI.

By the end of the masterclass, participants will have access to a pragmatic toolkit that will allow them to take control and understand the leading practices that help them lead confidently.
