It is an employee’s market, which makes attracting and retaining top talent even tougher. Since the Central Pennsylvania job market has less than a 4% unemployment rate, companies must change their approach to attracting and retaining talent in order to remain competitive and to build a robust and sustainable talent pool.

Slate Consultants has developed an innovative approach to “Winning the Workforce Wars” which is designed to transform a traditional onboarding program to a Strategic Onboarding System that focuses on the employee experience.

Traditionally, onboarding has been led by HR and treated as a single event rather than a process. New hires are passive participants in a one or two-day orientation. They receive information about policies and procedures, sign lots of paperwork, and are perhaps given a tour. Although these are important activities to complete, they are focused on benefits and needs of the employer, and do little to enhance the employee experience.
