Relevant Audience: Executives, Managers and Talent Development Professionals to include Organizational Development and Human Resources and Learning and Development Professionals

Description: What is your company doing to ensure success of your newly promoted or external executive that has been hired? Is the executive a “First Generation” executive or has relocated to take on the new role? Half of newly hired executives quit or are fired within the first three years. Almost as many who change jobs or are promoted (40%) fail within the first 18 months. With such alarming numbers and the high costs of executive recruitment, why do more organizations not have a formal executive onboarding approach to assimilate executives for success? During this interactive session with real company business examples, participants will explore the questions that follow:

• What are companies currently doing to onboard executives, and what do they want to change?
• What are the benefits of formalized executive onboarding programs?
• What can new leaders do to succeed in their new positions?
