Perfect Phrases for Building the Business Case for Onboarding

Creating the "so what?" or the business case for such a new program is the critical first step. There are many reasons to create an onboarding program in your organization. The trick is finding the reasons that are the most relevant and have the most clout with the decision makers.

- What is important in your business and your culture?
- Do key people need to be "presold" on an idea?
- Do you need both quantitative and qualitative data to present your case?
- It is important to have senior leadership sponsorship.
- Where's the "pain"?
- What are the onboarding "horror stories"?
- What business issues will an onboarding program solve?
- What do new employees say about their experiences?
