The Human Resources Association of Treasure Valley is pleased to announce the August Professional Development and Networking Program "Creating Impactful Onboarding Experiences" with Kelly Muscolo, Talent & Organization Development | Employee Experience | Change Management. Onboarding is more than a first-day checklist – it’s a critical driver of employee engagement, productivity, and organizational success. When new hires feel connected and supported from the start, they become more engaged – and engaged employees contribute to stronger performance and profitability. 

Join Kelly Muscolo, a Talent & Organization Development and Employee Experience practitioner with expertise in onboarding strategy, for an interactive one-hour session where participants will explore how to move beyond basic orientation to create meaningful onboarding experiences that deliver real business impact. Through three “Think, Pair, Share” activities, attendees will reflect on their current practices, learn from peers, and apply practical strategies in real time. 

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:  

• Define onboarding and its impact on engagement and business outcomes 
• Describe what their current new hire experience entails 
• Identify 1–3 low-cost, high-impact improvements to implement within 90 days 

Who Should Attend 

HR professionals, people leaders, managers, talent acquisition professionals, and anyone involved in welcoming and supporting new employees in the onboarding process. This session is especially valuable for HR teams of one or organizations looking for practical, cost-effective ways to strengthen engagement, retention, and the overall employee experience from day one.
