All On-Board!🎙

First things first - if you’ve heard “FUPA” in a professional setting (“Follow Up Phone Appointment” - or “Frolicking Unicorns Performing Acrobatics” as ChatGPT just suggested), please reply and let us know.

Now, onto the important topic. Listen to today’s episode! (“Besties - Marketing is supposed to be more creative than just a direct ask”). OK… if you listen to today’s episode, you’ll feel younger, happier, and be driving a bright red convertible by dinnertime! Or… feel happier at least?

Today’s episode is about Onboarding. And we don’t just talk about the bad stuff - we give tested tips that HR and managers can use. So listen and share them with your team. That’s the “Business” part of our “Business + Bullsh!t” (it’s not just a creative tagline).

In this week’s episode:

• Our Intro Story: Why Leigh believes the talking-to Jamie got at work was a good thing (But really, Benefits teams should claim self-defense).

• Cringy Corporate Speak: Ashley shares a term a prior company used (and US Besties, do you say “F M L A” or “Fimla”?).

• Onboarding: Why it matters - and how to make it better (including Jamie’s best practice during the first week).

• As always, some Questions & Comments to end the meeting (What drove Jamie out the door 3 days into a corporate job).
