With the growing transparency and influence of millennials, employees expect the work environment to be productive, engaging, and enjoyable. 

It is time to address a holistic approach to the employee experience and engagement, bringing all the workforce, HR, and management practices that impact people on the job.

On Point:

In order to manage the fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic, businesses and organizations have diversified their operations. With work-from-home/remote work finding increasing acceptance among a significant percentage of employers as well as employees, the use of virtual onboarding in the induction of new employees takes on greater importance.  

Research shows that onboarding is crucial for longer tenures in organizations. Some studies claim that 1-in-5 new employees leave within just 45 days of joining! Therefore, onboarding and continued engagement are closely tied to employee retention and satisfaction. 

Other studies indicate that a great onboarding experience resulted in 69 percent of employees staying with a company for more than three years, and being 50 percent more productive. 

For more than half of the employees surveyed, structured onboarding programs positively impact the time spent in a company. 

In this podcast, we share 10 tips that will help make your company’s virtual onboarding process a rewarding experience for both employer and employee.

According to the latest study by Spencer Stuart only 9% CHROs of the 160 companies that were analyzed served on a board of directors. That number seems to be at odds with the importance of the HR function in a post Pandemic world. That should get reflected in a higher number of organizations putting the employee's voice in the boardroom.

 

Contrary to the popular perception that HR has more women leaders than other organizational functions, only 31% of the 160 companies studied have a woman CHRO.  

 

In this episode, Neha and Abhijit discuss the findings of this study and explore what may be different ways to have more effective CHROs and enhance that representation in the boardroom. Learn about the three organizations that have come to be known as “Academy Companies for HR” and understand what makes them so. What can be an easy way to build business acumen in the workforce? 

The episode is known for offering creative and yet practical solutions to workplace issues that everyone is talking about.
