Onboard.London 2019

Join the HR movement

After the success of our annual Onboard Amsterdam event, we are expanding our movement to London! On the 20th of June, we organize the first independent onboarding event in the UK: Onboard.London.

Record low unemployment and skyrocketing turnover rates are presenting new challenges and opportunities in 2019 for HR. Choices you make can have a direct impact on how long your new employee remains with your company. How you onboard is an employee’s first real experience with your company culture, so make it count!

Do you want to give your employees an experience they LOVE? Come and learn how!

Secure your ticket!

Speakers

We invited the top HR representatives from around the world. To speak, to connect and to influence. IBM, Netflix, Bynder, Uber and many more will guide us through the next trends in the ever-changing world of onboarding and future proof employee experience.

    Bynder - How we onboard, coach & develop our Byndies

    Judyta Niedbalska - Learning and Development Specialist at Bynder

    More than 5 years ago there were 6 people working in a tiny Bynder office in Amsterdam. Now the company has 325 employees in 7 offices (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London, Barcelona, Dubai, Boston & San Francisco) around the world and is growing rapidly. Proper onboarding was, of course, essential in managing such explosive growth! Besides introducing our new hires to processes and FAQs to hit the ground running, we also focus on personal development in an early stage, to keep our young and talented Byndies onboard. At Bynder we have designed leadership programs to help our coaches with some of the practicalities they have on a frequent basis such as job interviews, development check-ins, and difficult conversations. We have also created in-depth learning programs for each department to support our employees so they can thrive from the start. On a personal level, we offer employees the ACT (Analytical Competence Tool) so we can stimulate them to use their natural talents and develop their potential strengths.And team members participate in ongoing Cultural Awareness workshops, to talk about interesting topics and share experiences among the 36 different nationalities we have at Bynder. After years of tweaking, we believe that Bynder has one of the best onboarding and growth experiences out there. During our presentation at Onboard.Amsterdam we will guide you through every step of the journey.

    Netflix - Building a Dream Team

    Varun Sawhney - Global Manager, Learning and Development at Netflix

    At Netflix, our core philosophy is people over process. More specifically, we have great people working together as a dream team. A dream team is one in which all of your colleagues are extraordinary at what they do and are highly effective collaborators. Like all great companies, we strive to hire the best and we value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusivity, and collaboration. What is special about Netflix, though, is how much we: encourage independent decision-making by employees share information openly, broadly, and deliberately are extraordinarily candid with each other keep only our highly effective people avoid rules
