Episode Synopsis


Onboarding isn’t just about laptops, logins, or ticking off checklists. It’s the first true glimpse a new hire gets of your culture, and it has the power to either spark long-term engagement or quietly erode it.  In this episode of Kan Talk Kulture, Kylie Anne Neal and Georgina Walker break down the full six-month onboarding window, sharing what really needs to happen after that warm welcome on Day One. From the 1, 3, and 5-month check-ins to setting clear expectations and building trust early, this is the episode for leaders who don’t want to lose great people due to early missteps.  What we cover: The biggest onboarding traps that silently drive early resignations Why the “tick-and-flick” mindset undermines culture How to create meaningful 1, 3, and 5-month check-ins that aren’t just performance reviews What trust-building looks like in the first six months and what gets in the way How leaders can stop relying on templates and start leading onboarding with purpose  If your onboarding process stops after the welcome lunch, this episode is your sign to rethink it.  Connect with kankulture.com to transform your company culture.
