Onboarding is the process of introducing new employees to the company culture, expectations, and goals. It is also a mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors in order to become effective in their role and responsibilities. Onboarding also helps to create a positive work environment by making sure that new employees are integrated into the organization and that they understand the company's values, mission, and policies.  It is an important part of any organization's success and helps to ensure that new hires are productive, engaged, and motivated. With onboarding, organizations can ensure that their employees are set up for success from day one.

We all have let it affect us one way or another and often times there is a struggle to find that work/life balance. Once stress has the upper hand, every day can be an uphill battle. We lose sleep, we can’t focus or find time for interests outside of the workplace, our relationships slip, and even our immune systems can start to weaken.   I get it! Our lives are hectic and it’s hard to find that balance. Having a plan to deal with stress ahead of time helps manage how I react to stressors. I do my best to model the behaviors that I expect my team to exhibit.

Or, you want to further develop and grow your career; however, there's no clear career path nor opportunity for growth. Sound familiar? For those in the Hospitality Industry, and especially human resources, this is a reality they handle on a daily basis. The hospitality industry must appeal to top talent through training, leadership, and modern tools in order to grapple with a staggering 73.8% employee turnover rate. **There exists a gap between what organizations and recruiters are seeking, and what prospects seek and expect from employers that contribute to high turnover.** Human Resources professionals must achieve a careful balance of finding and attracting the right candidate with structure and leadership in order to mitigate turnover costs.
