Successful Onboarding: Strategies to Unlock Hidden Value Within Your Organization 1st Edition

Successful Onboarding: Strategies to Unlock Hidden Value Within Your Organization is an excellent resource for building foundational knowledge and providing practical, coherent guidance in implementing an onboarding program. Our newly developed onboarding team has benefitted significantly from this book. We use it as our most referenced resource to shape our foundational knowledge of onboarding and to create training for hiring managers to acculturate new employees in our district.The personal tips from the authors are added bonuses of having the book. The book is an excellent read for human resource professionals at any level.

This book contains a very detailed discussion of onboarding, its importance, and the process behind it. It is a great introduction for someone new to the topic, and provokes the reader to think about the needs in their own organization.

"Must Read" that won't get read. The first 50% of this work is dead-on, but after the foundation of what onboarding can and should be, it falls into a typical "consultant lecture" that takes a simple concept and complicates it into a 100 year project for anyone who wants to follow it. Like most business books today, it is written from and for Fortune 500 companies, missing the 75% of companies that make up our economy. I would love to see a 2.0 version of this, written for the small-medium size organization (under 500 people) who really NEED onboarding.

I think this is a great read for any person or organization that is wanting to improve employee retention through onboarding programs. It details the statistics and ROI behind the research and is a book that was a bit ahead of its time in looking into the impacts of onboarding as a specific HR functionality.

Very helpful book as we grow beyond 40 employees.

Loved this book. It could be used as textbook! Insightful and reality-based solutions to an enduring problem for retention and day 1 development.

New hires, regardless of qualifications and experience will be more productive if properly introduced to their new work environment. Too often it is assumed new hires only need some introduction to their specific job responsibilities. The book describes procedures for integrating new employees so they understand the "big picture" and are able to contribute sooner to the success of the operation and maintain a productive, winning attitude.

It's Ok. Printed paper is very thin and back of page bleeds into the page being read so it is very hard to read
