Hi Totara Community, 

This week, we’ve got another brand new course for you. In this new course, we’re focusing on how to onboard your new starters successfully with Totara. 

Do you have lots of new starters that you need to onboard into your organisation? Are you interested in seeing how other organisations are using Totara to onboard their new hires? Would you like to reflect on how best to onboard your team using your Totara platform? Then this course is for you. 

Enrol in this course to:

  • See how other organisations are using Totara to onboard new starters

  • Make use of all the features on your Totara Platform to deliver a best practice onboarding experience 

  • Reflect on how you could onboard new starters in a hybrid world

Take the course now

To help you reflect on how to onboard your new starters we’ve set up a new collaborative space. Join your peers to: 

  • Share your ideas around onboarding best practice 

  • Reflect on how you’re currently using your Totara platform to onboard 

  • Ask questions and connect with your peers

If you’d like to share how you onboard your own new starters, why not record a short video and add it to the workspace so everyone can learn from each other? Some of your peers have already started doing this, see this video from the Met Office for example. 

Create a coaching culture in your organisation 

As well as the onboarding course we also have a course focused on coaching. If you’re trying to create a coaching culture in your organisation, your Managers need to know when and how to have coaching conversations. You’ll also need a tool in place that enables Managers and team members to identify an appropriate coach, with structures in place that coaches can use, such as goals, competencies and agreed communication tools.

Enrol in the new course ‘Effective coaching for managers’ to: 

  • Identify appropriate opportunities for coaching

  • Have effective coaching conversations

  • Connect individuals with an appropriate coach

  • Support coaching through your Totara Talent Experience Platform

If you’d like to learn even more about coaching, you can also watch a webinar on demand on this topic here.

Enjoy the rest of your week! 

P.S. If you have ideas about anything you’d like to see in the Community, feel free to post in the forums, workspaces or contact the team directly at community@totaralearning.com
