How Often Have You Heard Or Experienced The Following?

 

“I realized I was hard pressed to remember a time when I had a GOOD onboarding experience, much less a GREAT one.”

“One time my onboarding training was this, “Here’s where you’ll be working”. That was it. I asked questions and I got an evil glare.”

This is more common than you think.

 

What Happens When You Don’t Invest In Your Employee Onboarding Experience?

  • From day one, new hires may wonder if they’ve made the wrong choice in joining your organization.
  • About 1 in 3 new hires will start looking for a new job within six months. Around 1 in 4 will be gone from the organization within a year.
  • Employees can take 8-12 months to become proficient in their role. It’s possible they may leave before they even become proficient in their role.

 

It Doesn’t Need To Be This Way!

What Quality Onboarding Does For New Employees:


“This made me feel like I was part of a team, a team with a winning mentality.”

“It made me feel that I was welcome and of value. That the company was invested in my success.”

“I was excited and looking forward to what the next day will bring, and looking forward to continuing in the company.”

“I felt welcome and needed.”

Who Will Benefit From Our Employee Onboarding Services?

  • You’re a fast-growing organization that needs to hire. Until now, you’ve been flying by the seat of your pants with your onboarding experience. Now, you’re growing to the point where it’s hard to remember everyone’s name and role. You no longer fit in one office or geographical region.
  • You’re an organization dealing with heavy turnover. Quality employees are leaving for greener pastures on the regular. New employees leave before you know it. We’ll help you develop an employee onboarding experience to address these issues.

From the beginning of the session, Paul made everyone feel very comfortable about what was about to take place. Each activity was something I felt I could accomplish. Never once did I feel uncomfortable during an activity or that I was unable to be vulnerable with my partner(s). It felt empowering to open up in front of a group of strangers and feel heard. I now know that no matter who you are, where you work, or what you do; engagement through “play” can and should take place on a more frequent basis.

Paul grabbed the audience's attention from the very start. He lead them through a very engaging and highly interactive workshop. Everyone who attended took something away from the evening's event (including myself). With Playficient, Paul is addressing a need to further blend our social and work lives, and he's doing it in a fantastically creative way.

The onboarding experience workshop by Playficient was the first workshop I attended and I found it to be very engaging and highly interactive. It was insightful and inspired me to think about ways to revamp the current onboarding process at my firm. I would recommend attending a workshop put on by Playficient.

Paul facilitated a play for work session for one of our 7Geese lunch and learn sessions. We found the session to be interactive, engaging and I could really tell that the team enjoyed the opportunity to discuss how this could apply in their day to day work. Thank you, Paul for facilitating this session and shifting our thinking around how play can facilitate positive work outcomes.

Paul facilitated a “Leadership Through Play” workshop for our international students at ILAC International College. He was very professional with his communication and approach to delivering the workshop. He paid close attention to how the workshop was developed so as to suit our unique needs. What Paul is doing with Playficient is so relevant for today’s demographics in the workplace. I would love to bring him back in to speak with our administrative team!

Paul Lopushinsky’s session at the Utah ATD chapter event on the Eight Play Personalities was an eye-opening experience that challenged the traditional approach to workplace culture. Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all perks, he demonstrated how understanding different play personalities can foster a more inclusive and engaging environment for all employees. His insights helped us recognize why many organizations unknowingly cater to only a fraction of their workforce’s play styles. This session provided practical strategies to create a workplace culture that feels genuinely fun and meaningful for everyone!

Paul delivered an outstanding presentation on employee journey mapping to our HR Chapter in Northwest Connecticut. His ability to engage the audience and thoughtfully address questions throughout the seminar made for an insightful and interactive experience. He shared valuable insights from his own experiences, emphasizing the significance of employee journey mapping for organizations. Paul introduced five key questions to ask employees, each building upon the previous one, fostering deeper understanding. Our group especially enjoyed the "magic wand" question and how it complemented the mirroring and reflecting process. His expertise, clarity, and engaging style made for an excellent session.

Paul’s session was great and super interactive! He was able to talk through how to stay mindful of work, but how to also include the FUN without being disengaged. We really enjoyed that he kept the group entertained and active throughout his presentation. It was very enjoyable and we hope to have him in the future!

From the beginning Paul made me feel comfortable. Each activity was something I felt I could accomplish. And contrary to putting me in a spotlight with no instructions, I had clear instructions and always at least one willing partner that ensured I didn’t fail. It was later that I learned that is a key element of improv – that you never let someone fail.That has really resonated with me as a leader. If I can remember that a team should be built and supported so everyone embodies this belief, it lays a different foundation.
