Turn new hires into confident, connected, productive colleagues — faster.
Employee Onboarding Excellence equips hiring managers and HR to plan the first 90 days: keeping people warm through notice periods, getting equipment ready, designing a first week with real work, agreeing 30-60-90 plans, building relationships and belonging for on-site, remote and shift starters, and running check-ins and fair probation reviews. Built on the BOARD Model, with a running case of three very different new starters.
- Managers plan onboarding for a real upcoming hire
- Preboarding timeline, welcome message and first-week plan
- 30-60-90 plans with decision rights and check-ins
- Fair probation guide: expectations, early feedback, evidence
Employee Onboarding Excellence (for Managers & HR) Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
Early exits
Good hires leaving in the first months.
Day-one chaos
Missing laptops and six hours of slides.
No clarity
New starters unsure what good looks like.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Participants walk Ardent’s current onboarding to find where it fails, then build preboarding, a first week, a 30-60-90 plan, a buddy brief, a learning path and check-in scripts for their own next hire — and practise the conversations that matter.
What you will deliver
A complete design, sequenced and timed — so every session has a purpose and every activity lands.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Employee Onboarding Excellence (for Managers & HR) with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

That is the design work already done for you — research, session plans, slides, activities and assessments. Spend it facilitating, selling your next programme, or simply switching off.
