You’re Hired!… Now What?

The corporate world is evolving, and with it, the role of leaders is to foster a consciously competent workforce. They are becoming increasingly adept at identifying a broad array of candidates, ensuring that the hiring process is both equitable and competitive. The result is a more varied corporate culture that benefits from a multitude of perspectives and experiences. However, the work doesn’t end with the hiring process. For many leaders, the real challenge begins after they are fully onboarded. The first 90 days are crucial for setting the tone of their tenure, the first year is about proving their value, and the five-year mark is often seen as a milestone of longevity and commitment. This course helps executives understand of the business culture each professional was promoted or hired into, learn techniques to build alliances within the organization, and techniques to manage their professional career within the organization
