Using case studies to illustrate a year-long systemic approach to creating and implementing onboarding programs, Successful Onboarding teached organizations how to go beyond simple employee orientation to fully transitioning and assimilating all new hires, not just the top brass. Successful Onboarding shows how to implement a systemic and strategic onboarding program in any enterprise-for improved ROI, increased productivity and engagement, reduced turnover, and elevation of the company's recruiting and employment brand.

The book helps readers produce measurable results for everyone: the company, the new hire, and his or her supervisor. It includes examples from leading companies and programs, including Assurant, Booz Allen, Deloitte, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, P&G, and Target.
