Listen "Ep 453: Onboarding Evolved"
Episode Synopsis
The pandemic changed many aspects of talent acquisition and perhaps none more so than onboarding. With many people spending less time in their employer's physical offices, how have TA and HR teams evolved their onboarding processes to forge a sense of belonging, develop relationships and ultimately increase productivity and retention?
My guest this week is Sharawn Tipton, Chief People Officer at LiveRamp. Over the last few years, LiveRamp has developed a strategic and very intentional approach to onboarding, and Sharawn has a lot of insight and advice to share.
In the interview, we discuss:
Shifting from a transactional approach to one that focuses on building relationships
Providing an immediate sense of belonging
The impact of the pandemic on onboarding and retention
Employee Resource Groups
Wellness and mental health
Starting onboarding before the hiring process even starts
Culture
Moments that matter
How important are the first 30 days
Personalization of experience
EVP & expectations
Lesson learned and having a growth mindset.
