Lesson details

Your new hire's first day will either cement their decision to join you or make them regret it for the next 6 months. And while they're deciding, recruiters are emailing them every single night with new opportunities.

In this Masterclass Mini, discover exactly how to create a first day experience that turns new hires into evangelists instead of flight risks. Learn the simple touches that make people feel valued, the critical timing elements most owners miss, and how to use your onboarding system to spot red flags early.

You'll discover:

  • Why "you should feel grateful to have a job" is killing your retention

  • The exact elements of a great first day (greeting, uniform, card, coffee, and more)

  • What you want new hires to tell their friends after day one

  • The hidden danger: job alerts hitting their inbox for 90+ days after they start

  • How to use onboarding data to spot problems before they become expensive

  • The one question to ask yourself: "What would I want if this was MY first day?"

This isn't 1950. Your new hire chose YOU. Make sure their first day proves they made the right choice.
