Let’s imagine the following scenario: John is eager to start his new role at Green Acres Farm as a grain farm equipment operator! He arrives to the farm on his first day of work, expecting to be greeted by the farm manager, Ryan. Ryan is no where to be found so a fellow worker that passes by tells John he can take a seat while he goes to look for him. After waiting 30 minutes, Ryan appears saying “I apologize for the delay, I forgot you were arriving today. I believe I was told this by the farm owner.., but can you remind me of your name again?” After a brief greeting and introduction, Ryan suggests that they go on a quick tour of the farm. During their tour, they bump into some colleagues. As they are chatting with their colleagues, Ryan checks his watch and realizes that he needs to leave for a meeting. He lets John know that he is in good hands with his colleagues and will return later with the paperwork. The colleagues are not sure what they are supposed to show John, so they continue their work and allow John to watch...” If you have ever been in Ryan’s shoe, then come and join us at the webinar How to Onboard New Employees delivered by the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC), where we will cover and explain the importance of the new employee onboarding process, the main elements of employee onboarding, learn how to create an onboarding checklist and how to monitor onboarding over time.
