Onboarding in a GMP environment leads to some questions and confusion. Are contractors treated the same as long-term employees? Where do GMP Training end and HR training begin? When can employees begin working? How differently should new and transferred employees be treated in the onboarding process?
Fortunately, there are measures you can take to increase the likelihood these employees will stay with your organization. A well-designed Onboarding Program is an integral part of your company’s culture. It not only promotes new hire retention but also can have new hires contributing independently to the business more quickly.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Compliance considerations, your quality culture, and work culture are all important points of focus. Additionally, where do employee “onboarding” end and real “job training” start? Your onboarding effort is critical in so many other ways too, as it represents your only opportunity at a first impression, and allows you to shape early motivation for your new employees. Although many hiring managers and other supervisory personnel struggles with onboarding, there are simple steps you can take to ensure a successful and compliant program. This course will address the issues that accompany onboarding new or transferred employees and enable you to navigate them successfully.
