Workplace Innovation
You Belong with US
The Columbus Chamber of Commerce wants to ensure and equip every business we serve to become an employer of choice. With a highly competitive job market, talent and HR leaders often struggle recruiting and retaining the skilled workers they need. We offer support and guidance on establishing best practices and fostering healthy and productive workplaces.
Onboarding
Onboarding practices that create early connections and understanding between the new employee and the company. A poor onboarding experience can leave employees feeling uncomfortable, confused, and dejected. A recent survey by Paychex found that 52% of new hires feel undertrained after onboarding, with employees of small companies (66%) and remote workers (63%) suffering the most. Having a well-defined and engaging onboarding process is critical to employee retention. Our onboarding providers include Ahola HR Solutions & Payroll, EmPower HR, and HR Butler.

Benefits that Matter
The importance of employee benefits can’t be overstated – they ensure employees feel valued and cared for by your organization. Benefits can help them balance their work with their lives, boost their mental and physical wellness, and care for them when they need assistance. When benefits match employee needs and expectations, they can increase retention and by 22%.
Company Culture
People’s behaviors at work are shaped by the organization’s collective beliefs and values. Applying the research supporting positive psychology to the workplace showcases the characteristics and behaviors that lead to individual workers flourishing. When people across the business flourish, the company does better as a whole and employees are happy. Happy and engaged employees are more productive and more likely to refer others to your organization.
