Are you ready for all the new employees you will soon hire?

I imagine we all are looking forward to the end of this recession and grow the top line again.

The National Association for BusinessEconomics (NABE) reported yesterday that hiring and capital spending will increase over the next six months.

NABE reported in its Industry Survey that demand in Q3 2009 increased for the first time in five quarters, while the number of companies adding jobs doubled from July 2009 to October 2009.

The questions are: Are you ready for this?
Do you have the tools to support the training of your new hires?

Corporations are recognizing the need to retain new employees and enable them to more quickly achieve productivity in their new capacity and environment.


This has resulted in the adoption of formalized“onboarding” programs. In a research piece by the Aberdeen Group,results determined that the best-in-class onboarding enterprises realize a:

· 100% improved retention rates of new hires
· 60% reduced time-to-productivity for new hires
Moreover, best-in-class onboarding companies are 35% more likely to have a formal onboarding training program and twice as likely to clearly define the performance metrics assigned to their onboarding efforts. The Aberdeen Group further identifies that socialization is primary part of the onboarding efforts and that onboarding starts before a new hires first day on the job.

Collaborative learning, cost savings and an environmentally friendly education distribution system our eLearning 2.0 and mLearning platform provides are just some of the benefits of TOPYX®. Our eLearning 2.0education distribution technologies are paving the way in creating innovative solutions to meet the needs of today’s learner.
