Onboarding: Part 1 of Addressing the ”Great Reset”

This is the first in a three part series on addressing the "great reset" that is occurring in the workforce across the country.  Some have described this as the "great resignation," but resignations are only part of the story: there is a fundamental shift in the workforce--a reset-- that is posing significant challenges in hiring, retaining and developing employees.  With the workforce in "reset" mode, companies need to respond in kind by resetting what they do.  The first strategic opportunity that needs to be reset is onboarding.  Leaders need to move from general onboarding to one that is role-specific; from onboarding that is "once and done" to a process that is ongoing; and from a focus on policies, procedures and employee benefits to culture and behaviors.
