byBeth-Flynn Ferry, JR Keller

Watch the video recording of this Keynote here on YouTube.

Check out JR Keller’s Onboarding and Employee Success Cornell Course

Onboarding has a significant impact on the employee experience, with research showing it can boost new hire productivity by over 60% and decrease turnover likelihood by nearly 50%.

In this Cornell Keynote, JR Keller, Associate Professor of Human Resource Studies at Cornell ILR School, and Beth Flynn-Ferry, Executive Director of the Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies, share insights into how effective onboarding enhances job satisfaction, confidence, organizational commitment, and employee well-being.

Drawing on decades of academic research and real-world expertise, they will present four actionable tips to improve onboarding programs, equipping leaders to drive engagement, retention, and overall team success.

What You’ll Learn

  • The importance of preboarding and how to do it well
  • The pivotal role the hiring manager — not HR — plays in onboarding
  • The importance of assigning an onboarding buddy
  • How to measure success
