"The race for talent makes a successful onboarding experience one of the most effective talent management weapons in an organization's arsenal," said Barbara Levin, senior vice president Marketing and Customer Community. "We are pleased to have Mr. Hanscome support the Human Capital Institute's learning track and provide organizations with information and tools to help address this critical area."
