HIRE RIGHT. LEAD WELL. WORK SAFE.

OPEN TO ALL: Ideal for business owners and leaders, future entrepreneurs & curious minds

WHERE: Orewa Library

DATE: Every first Tuesday of the month

TIME: 11:00AM - 12:00PM

The leaders you hire shape your team’s performance — so what are you actually selecting for?

The way you welcome and support new employees shapes whether great people stay — so what experience are you creating before and after they say yes?

This free workshop will help you uncover the onboarding mistakes that can lead to disengagement, early turnover, and losing great people before they have had the opportunity to make an impact. You’ll learn how to strengthen the journey from acceptance to engagement through effective pre-boarding, active onboarding, post-boarding, and off-boarding practices — so your new hires feel welcomed, supported, and set up for success from day one.

This workshop is ideal for business owners, leaders, managers, and anyone responsible for hiring, welcoming, or supporting new team members who want to improve retention and build stronger teams.
