Plymouth, UK09 Nov 2015Learning NewsSponge

The role elearning can play in creating a positive and lasting induction experience for new employees will be explored in an interactive webinar this month.

Award-winning elearning provider, Sponge UK is hosting the session to provide new ideas for organisations looking to improve their approach to onboarding. 

Learning Designer at Sponge, Brayley Pearce, will lead the webinar, First Impressions to First Year: Benefits of Bespoke Induction. 

Pearce said: “The picture you paint during an employee’s induction is the one that stays with them, so it is essential to get it right. 

“I’ll be following the journey of a new starter from the moment they accept a job offer to their first year of service and highlighting ways bespoke elearning can help make the induction as positive and productive as possible. 

“As with all our webinars, I’m interested to hear about a wide range of experiences and there will be plenty of opportunities for attendees to share their views and ask questions.” 

Data from the independent research organisation, Towards Maturity suggests the number of organisations planning to e-enable induction or onboarding in the next two years has increased from 58% to 79%.[i]
