Welcome to Daycare Onboarding Made Simple
Hey, it’s Adrienne Bradley from ThrivingChildcare.com and the New Providers Club. Welcome to “Daycare Onboarding Made Simple,” our course that will ensure your staff are trained and excited from day one. Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect in this course.
Why Onboarding Matters
Did you know that nearly 30% of new employees leave their job within the first 6 months? That’s a staggering number, and the main reason behind it is poor onboarding. A Gallup poll found that only 1 in 10 employees felt their company did a good job with onboarding. In 90% of cases, the process was either confusing, too long, or uninspiring, leading new hires to lack confidence in their new roles.
The Cost of Turnover
Hiring new employees takes time, money, and can be quite stressful. But the good news is, you can prevent high turnover by focusing on a solid onboarding process. And that’s exactly what we’re going to cover in this course.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this course, you’ll understand the best ways to welcome new daycare employees to your team and business. Onboarding is more than just plugging a new assistant or teacher into a routine. It’s about creating a positive and supportive environment where they can showcase their skills and potential from day one.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- The Importance of Onboarding: Why it’s crucial for getting your new employee invested from the start.
- Pre-Hiring Onboarding: Why and how onboarding should start even before hiring.
- Training Tools and Automation: The best tools to train your new hires and how to automate parts of the onboarding process.
