12:00 PM – 1:00 PM – Virtual Event

Several years ago, Jess Almlie was tasked with a business challenge: to centralize the training function in a rapidly-growing organization while eliminating duplication, maximizing efficiency, and increasing the effectiveness of training provided for every employee. The result is a success story that combines learning theory, team structure, and business outcomes into a robust onboarding program.
Listen as Jess shares this story of onboarding transformation–from a program that blasted employees with information to a program built on a simple formula of learning and practice. Upon completion, the new onboarding program cut the time for an employee to enter production in half and significantly increased new employee confidence. This is the story of a creative, collaborative, and holistic approach to solving a business challenge in a way that worked for everyone – new employees, the learning team, and business stakeholders.
This program is FREE for all ATD-GTC members. Members may bring one complimentary, registered guest.
