The most frequent complaint we hear as L&D experts (and maybe even make ourselves) is that our onboarding programs need help — too long, too boring, not relevant, outdated for the current needs of the tech-maturing workforce. But these programs don’t have to be this way. Our experts will demonstrate how they have been able to rethink, redesign, and reimagine their orientation programs to make them powerful, engaging, and effective.

At the end of the day, our leaders want to know one thing: Did the program make a difference? And, of course, the only way we can truly answer that is with data. Join us on our journey to understand how data and evaluation provide not only insight, but the ammunition you need to demonstrate the effectiveness and impact of your programs.
