2. Learn through others: Incorporate a personalized 1:1 approach to your program. Consider providing new hires with a resource network which will connect them to the organization, thus improving integration and retention.
3. Guide learning: For informal learning, structure is the key to success. Build a guided workflow for your program to ensure continuous and productive learning. As an added bonus, you can replicate this for future new hires.
