Orientation & Onboarding with Kyle Pardo & Annette Dupree

Here's a question worth sitting with before we get into it: when's the last time a new hire walked into your organization and really landed ? Not just completed their paperwork, not just got their badge and their laptop — but actually felt like they understood where they were, why it mattered, and where they fit in it? Because if you're like most employers, you're probably conflating two things that are doing very different jobs. Orientation and onboarding. They're not the same thing, and treating them like they are is quietly costing your people. Today, Kyle Pardo and Annette Dupree from AIM HR Solutions are here to untangle them — what each one is actually supposed to do, where AI can genuinely help and where it absolutely cannot, and how a thoughtful, intentional new hire experience can be the difference between a great long-term hire and a frustrating early exit.
