A practical course for anyone guiding, supporting or becoming a new leader.
Research shows that effective onboarding yields significant returns in terms of profit growth and profit margin. In the current labor market, where talent is scarce and average employee engagement hovers around 20%, the case for effective onboarding as a key lever to business performance is increasing.
Effective onboarding goes beyond the traditional orientation activities in a new employee or leader's first few weeks. It considers key outcomes, critical behaviors, and essential relationships. Effective onboarding supports new employees and leaders with timely feedback and coaching.
This course lays out a framework to help you create and operationalize an effective onboarding plan. It walks you through the process for ensuring the onboarding plan yields the results you expect. The course also offers insights into the skills that enable effective onboarding coaching.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
