Many members say a major issue for their companies is to recruit and retain employees. Do you need to know the best ways to attract and train employees to increase your employee retention? The Guide to New Employee Integration and Engagement was developed to serve as a tool, template, and starting point for developing a company-specific process in training new employees. The guide is divided into four main sections—Onboarding and Orientation, Process of Implementation, Roles & Process Owners, Phases & Key Activities—and includes sample checklists, communication plans, manager tools, and a resource guide for employees. These documents are provided in both hard copy and electronic formats to allow you to incorporate company-specific wording. www.aiccbox.org/onboarding

Upgrading your plant can be a costly and sometimes scary undertaking. Am I making the right choice? If I build it, will they come? How do I determine whether I have a business case for this purchase? These are only some of the questions members face when they make decisions about retrofitting, upgrading, or purchasing equipment. For some of the answers, check out this free white paper: www.aiccbox.org/more.
