Emotional
Onboarding

Almost all industries are searching for ways to increase talent retention. In reviewing when an organization is most vulnerable to lose someone, the first three to six months appear to be key. While organizations focus heavily on onboarding to learn new processes and job duties, many miss the mark on helping new hires feel connected to their teams. Emotional Onboarding™ is the difference maker.

Emotional Onboarding aims to quickly immerse new employees in the workplace culture, foster relationships with coworkers, and address the anxiety and doubt that come naturally with change. Key components include creating opportunities for new hires to bond with coworkers, conducting regular “battery checks” to gauge their well-being, and ensuring they feel supported while navigating new tasks.

By emphasizing skill development and building trust, Emotional Onboarding aims to reduce anxiety and improve performance, ultimately leading to higher employee engagement and retention.
