Employee Onboarding: How to get your new hires to hit the ground running
Employee Onboarding: How to get your new hires to hit the ground running
Por Keyla Pérez, Head of Content de CanopyLAB
How long does it take for a new employee to become a productive asset in a company?
Research suggests that it can take from 3 months up to 2 years for new hires to learn the ropes, depending on the quality of the onboarding process. Financially, the median cost of onboarding an employee is $3000. Based on these facts alone, it is safe to say that onboarding is a significant commitment of resources, especially when you multiply these costs times the amount of employees your company hires per year.
Though costly, the assumption is that onboarding costs are an investment that will yield returns in the employee’s productivity, independence and longevity in the company. But this is not always the case. According to research conducted by Gallup, 88% of participants said their organization did not have a good onboarding process. Negative onboarding experiences, in turn, make employees twice as likely to look for other job opportunities, without mentioning its impact on their ability to act independently, proactively or have a sense of self-confidence.
So, if you calculated how much your company is spending per hire based on the $3000 benchmark from earlier, go ahead and add some extra dollars in there to account for the employees who will quit within a year.
But hey, it’s not all bad news! When your onboarding process is good, the results are great. Employees develop strong bonds with the organization, they feel more connected to their coworkers as well as to the company culture, have more role clarity, stay in the organization longer and hit the ground running. So how can you achieve this?
1. Know that good onboarding starts in the recruitment phase
Hiring the right candidate is the single most important factor in creating a positive onboarding experience. For this, you and your team must carry out an extensive job analysis that specifies the functions, duties, skills, and outcomes the new employee will have to fulfill.This background information will determine the clarity of the job description, which will be key in filtering candidates.
2. Develop a system to get through admin and paperwork swiftly to focus on the issues that will enhance the new hire’s confidence
As it stands now, most of the onboarding process in companies is spent sorting out administrative items and paperwork. Although these are important aspects to tackle, try to organize them into a checklist that you can send to your new team member in the preboarding period. Additionally, consider shifting CRM, health and safety and company policy training to a corporate Learning Experience Platform which enables new employees to not only learn at their own pace, but also consolidate knowledge without the pressure of having to remember everything on the first day.
Getting the admin out of the way in the preboarding phase can help ease the intensity of the employee’s first day, since their perspective will be completely different to yours as a manager. While your focus may be on whether their key fob is activated, the email is set up or their parking space is available, they will probably be nervous about meeting their new co-workers and managers, learning about the expectations of their job and knowing who to go to in case they make a mistake. By optimizing the time spent on administrative aspects, you’ll free up time to clarify these three key points within the first week:
- Expectations of the job (with measurable outputs)
- Line management and team dynamics
- Feedback method and frequency
3. Understand that it's not meant to be a one-week plan, but that there are steps you can (and should) take to make it more efficient
Finally, the key to successful onboarding and to help your hires hit the ground running is to accept that it won’t be something you will “get out of the way” within the first week or month. When we understand the employee’s onboarding process as one that will likely last a few months but that will result in a happier, more productive and more independent individual that will stay in the company longer, we are on track to a good onboarding experience.
That being said, customizing the onboarding process for every single new employee would be a logistical and financial challenge. So we suggest that you back your onboarding process with digital tools such as CanopyLAB’s LXP where you can deliver bulk onboardings, analyze employees’ training progress and keep a library of materials they can refer to regularly.
Finally, though it may seem like a more resource-intensive method than the way you delivered onboarding before, with the help of technologies and systems that help increase the efficiency of the process, you can create an onboarding process that results in a more satisfied, productive and confident workforce.

Could a lack of training be behind your sales team’s underperformance? Here’s what you can do about it
Could a lack of training be behind your sales team’s underperformance? Here’s what you can do about it
Por Keyla Pérez, Head of Content de CanopyLAB
Sales teams are navigating undeniably difficult circumstances in 2021. Consumer behavior changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a shift to online shopping and a homebody economy, putting the most stellar of sales teams under pressure. With the exception of tech services and pharmaceuticals, the pandemic has narrowed most businesses’ consumer base, affecting sales teams’ ability to meet their quotas. Having said that, underperformance should not be attributed solely to external factors. Rather, observing how your sales team adapts in times of crisis can be an opportunity to retrain your reps, adapt your strategy and practice resilience.
The importance of training
Prior to the pandemic, many companies overlooked the importance of sales training based on a perception of slow return compared to other investments. However, in contrast to these assumptions, sales training can be one of the most fruitful investments in a company, enabling greater attainment of quotas and higher customer renewal rates. So how should you go about training your sales team?
How to design a sales training program
1. Assess your team's needs
The first step to a successful sales training program is an assessment of the team’s needs. For this, sales managers must have a clear idea of what the sales targets are and what skills, knowledge and abilities are necessary to achieve them.
You can ask yourself the following questions:
- Are your sales reps aware of how to qualify leads now that their customer base has changed and they are no longer selling their product/service in person?
- Are they up to date with new product knowledge?
- Are they comfortable navigating different digital tools and having online client meetings?
- Have they readjusted their sales messaging or are they using the same cold templates as before the pandemic?
All these questions can help you pinpoint what might be the root cause of the team’s underperformance. KONA suggests using the “5 Whys” Model to identify the underlying cause of a performance issue.
2. Translate your team's needs into learning goals
Once you have identified your team’s areas for improvement, translate them into learning goals. This will allow you to nurture the specific skills that your team needs. For example, if an overarching theme is that sales reps are struggling to create a connection with prospects during online meetings, the learning goals could be “digital literacy”, “communication” and “social selling”. This method allows your training to be underpinned by a pedagogical element. Though this may sound intimidating if you don’t have a background in education, it doesn’t have to be. Which leads us to the final point…
3. Choose the right learning solution
Choosing the right learning solution is key to the successful implementation of a sales training plan. The right Learning Experience Platform (LXP) can help you save time, enhance collaboration among employees and serve as a resource library that your sales reps can refer to whenever they need to.
When choosing a LXP, choose one that allows you to:
- Deliver individualized and self-paced training to your entire team
- Identify learning objectives automatically
- Create effective courses in minutes
- Enhance collaboration and social interaction within your team
In conclusion, investing in your team’s sales training can only reap benefits. It will enhance your representative’s adaptability, resilience and competitive advantage. If the current crisis has taught us anything, it’s that we don’t want to be caught off guard ever again.

Meet our two new AI bots modeled on CEO Sahra-Josephine Hjorth and Chief Learning officer Lise Andersen-Alstrup
The future of learning is all about leveraging the power of technology to make learning experiences more efficient and more effective. Having said that, when designing our software, we wanted to ensure the preservation of those spontaneous collaborative moments that take place between teachers, students and team members. You know, the “Do you have any cool materials I can use to teach about Louis XIV in class today?” or the “I can’t decide between AP Chemistry and AP Physics, which one would you recommend?”. That’s why we put great effort into creating numerous social spaces within our platform.
But we also wanted to ensure that our course creators and learners felt supported throughout the learning process, regardless of whether their friends or colleagues were available to answer questions. Our goal was to ensure the provision of high-quality, consistent and personalized support 24/7. How could we achieve this? Well, by creating bots modeled on our top learning experts: Sahra-Josephine (our CEO) and Lise (our Chief Learning Officer). Don’t you love technology?
As well as being cultured, funny and up for a casual chat, Sahra-Josephine and Lise can answer any questions you may have about the learning process or course creation. As a learner, you can ask Sahra-Josephine questions about courses, knowledge tags and exercises and she will guide you through them. This comes in handy if you’re having trouble accessing a feature or if you can’t decide on your next course and want some recommendations.
If you’re a course creator and you need an extra hand building your courses or learning about exercises, tagging, videos and materials, Lise will help you. She knows everything about the how, where and why of course creation. Our goal is that if you bump into the slightest obstacle while creating your courses, Lise can help you out right away. We value your time and want to help you optimize your course creation efforts so that you spend those extra hours on other activities.
So… Head over to say hi to Sahra and Lise. And don’t forget to ask them about their favorite music!

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to launch the self-building course – a course that is auto-created after placing materials in the cloud
In 2015, while conducting her Ph.D. research at Aalborg University on virtual learning environments, social media, and empowerment through learning, Sahra-Josephine Hjorth co-founded CanopyLAB with the vision of revolutionizing the way we learn.
Five years later, CanopyLAB is pioneering the future of learning through a learning experience platform that, through Artificial Intelligence (AI), combines Nordic principles of education with adaptive learning and a social network structure.
The platform is optimized by AI, not because it’s a buzzword, but because it solves a series of very specific problems for learners and course creators, and solving those makes digital course creation fun, fast and scalable. Let me elaborate:
Self-building content, pedagogical support, and quizzes that will blow your socks off
While we often work with learning nerds – a group we strongly identify with – a biology teacher once reminded us that you can be an incredible teacher without being a learning expert. He loved geeking out about biology but not about learning design and he couldn’t define social or adaptive learning. That interaction taught us an incredibly important lesson. That our job is to empower course creators to make a difference for learners, and the task of creating courses should be easy, fun, and adaptable to the needs of the course creators in a way that accommodates both the learning nerd and the biology nerd. So we created a series of AI automation processes that can assist you in creating courses. How? Well, we took a look at the DNA of a course first.
Mapping the DNA that makes up a course
On the CanopyLAB platform courses consists of:
- Learning materials (videos, audio files, pdfs, PowerPoints, and much more)
- Course introduction texts and unit descriptions with learning goals
- Pedagogical exercises such as adaptive quizzes, learning journals, brainstorming, baseline tests to mention a few.
- A tagging structure that allows learners to earn knowledge and exercise tags as they complete courses, showing progress in knowledge and skills shaped as a virtual CV.
- “Behind the scenes” a few more items are critical, one being curating exercises and not simply designing the content. It’s actually a lot of work pairing content and learning goals with exercises. Especially since we have 55 learning templates.
Let’s refer to each of these items as DNA molecules.
Automating each DNA molecule one by one
The CV
Our first challenge was actually cracking the CV which shows the knowledge you have learned from a course. It’s a very cool functionality because it helps us articulate what we have learned and what we are good at. Initially course creators manually picked tags that they felt were representative of what the learner would gain from each unit. But after we introduced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to meta-tag and catalog all the content that you upload onto a course (to our cloud as you commence building the course), we learned that after serious algorithm training, we could meta tag all text and video materials in less than 2 minutes and create an automated CV based on that, because our AI knows what every piece of material is about and what you learn from reading or watching it. Internally we refer to this algorithm as A1, and the process we used to train it as Dragon Training – and yes we are obsessed with How to Train Your Dragon.
Curating the pedagogical exercises
After this process, our AI engine recommends a pedagogical exercise for the course creator to include in the unit. Recommendations are essential because picking an exercise out of our 55+ templates can be tricky and time consuming. This is extremely helpful if you’re not sure which exercise is best for the content that you uploaded or which exercises your learners prefer.
AI Quiz question engine and 7 other exercises created by the AI
After our engine recommends pedagogical exercises, you may be unsure how to describe an exercise or want a bit of inspiration as to how it could be done. Don’t worry, our AI also auto-generates exercise descriptions for you; from instant quiz questions generated based on your course content to learning journals and definitions exercises designer to ensure learners understand all fundamental concepts.
Writing the course descriptions and learning goals
Based on the materials and choices made by the course creator, we can now automatically generate your unit description that details what the course is about and what the learners will gain from taking part in the course. In 2021 we are adding a learning goal generator. Isn’t that cool?
Now, we may not have a totally self-building course yet, but we have automated the most essential molecules already, and are excited about inviting you on this journey with us.

7 free courses for teacher development that you can take right now
It was one year ago this month that COVID-19 overwhelmed us and changed our classrooms. Overnight, we educators had to learn, on our own, how to shift our lessons to Zoom, how to assess students virtually and how to use attractive presentations or games to keep our students engaged.
Many of us had to teach all day and then do research and prepare all evening for our lesson the next day. We were stretched and stressed as this massive change hit us like a Tsunami. To make matters more complicated, most of us had never taught virtually before. Digital tools we had to implement were completely new to most of us.
A critical need emerged in the community of educators and CanopyLAB responded. We invented TeacherLAB as a platform where a global network of teachers can learn new skills, collaborate with one another, and share successful practices. We now offer more than 40 cutting-edge courses designed to empower teachers to master new digital tools, online pedagogy techniques, and strengthen relationships with students and parents. In this article, we invite you to be part of this community and take 7 free courses that will help you in different aspects of distance learning: digital skills, pedagogical methodologies and emotional health.
To improve your skills in digital and remote teaching
How to create engaging presentations
Let’s be honest! Remote teaching involves a LOT of presentations. How can we make them effective and engaging? Our beginner’s level course will guide you through how to make attractive presentations to keep your students engaged and learning.
How to assess your student’s work digitally
Teachers spend most of their time assessing student performance. This course will show you how to take advantage of the latest digital tools to assess your students’ work in remote environments.
Engaging Students in Remote Learning Environments
Ensuring that all students are engaged, motivated and active can be a challenge even in the physical classroom. In remote teaching, the challenge is even greater. Students are more likely to lose motivation and concentration when isolated from the classroom learning environment. This course explores different ways to keep students engaged during online teaching.
Here are some of our interesting courses on general pedagogy
Problem Based Learning
Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a wonderful tool that allows teachers to increase student engagement, practice collaborative learning, and develop research skills based on their interests. In this course, we introduce you to the main characteristics of the PBL approach so you can implement it in your classroom.
Designing Blended Learning Experiences
Blended Learning is the combination of face to face and online teaching. This model is becoming very relevant now that some schools are going back to the classroom only a few days a week. This course will lead you through the basics of blended learning and provide you with a few tips to make your lessons more effective.
Building Resilience inside your classroom
Resilience is key when going through frustrating periods. When we cultivate it in our class we are not only having an impact on learning, but in our student’s lives. This course will show you how to include activities and ideas in order to cultivate an attitude of resilience in your students.
If you want to take some time for yourself
Mental Health and COVID-19
We won’t sugar coat anything- the pandemic is scary and overwhelming. Teachers have been dealing with an immense level of stress and this course is designed to help you through these times. In this mini-course, you learn tips on how to take care of your mental wellbeing during the time of COVID-19. You will learn about resources to spark interest in starting your own self-care journey.

ACAMPADOC, the successful International Documentary Film Festival, was broadcast worldwide using the CanopyLAB platform
ACAMPADOC, the successful International Documentary Film Festival, was broadcast worldwide using the CanopyLAB platform
Por Keyla Pérez, Head of Content de CanopyLAB
2020 taught us a powerful lesson: if we are able to adapt quickly to a sudden change in circumstances and context, we are more likely to achieve our goals. In the case of Irina Ruíz, director of ACAMPADOC, the pandemic changed her team’s plans completely. Adapting to the circumstances allowed her to not only overcome the challenges that distance poses to a film festival, but to also reach countries that the festival had never reached before.
How to broadcast a Film Festival online successfully?
“We were the first institution to promote documentary films in Central America during the pandemic, teaching 17 online documentary film and heritage courses synchronously through Zoom, which was all possible thanks to CanopyLAB. We must say that both the students and teachers were very satisfied with the experience ”. – Irina Ruíz, directora de ACAMPADOC.
For more than ten years, ACAMPADOC has brought young talented people from Latin America and the rest of the world closer to promote the preservation of cultural heritage. Each year, ACAMPADOC showcases its students’ film productions in the International Documentary Film Festival. Furthermore, face-to-face workshops are organized to train future talents in the production and making of documentary films.
Nevertheless, lockdown and social distancing disrupted the plans that had been made for ACAMPADOC 2020. However, cancelling the festival was not an option: “This year, we had high expectations for the admission of new students who find in the festival a space for training and promoting their documentary film productions and, therefore, we could not cancel it,” says Irina.
Therefore, both the film festival and the training courses had to be redesigned and offered online. For Irina and her team, this transition seemed to be an impossible task since they did not have a suitable online platform or professional assistance. They realized that they needed a platform where they could upload course content all while maintaining a social connection between teachers and students.
After a lot of research, they decided to try different learning platforms, and that is how they found CanopyLAB, a platform that suit their needs perfectly given its user-friendliness, ability to participate in video calls without leaving the website and social network, which enabled interactions among all the participants.
“CanopyLAB allowed us to give basic, practical-theoretical, and intensive training that facilitated our students’ learning and as a result, we have 19 short films this year,” says the director.
A platform that can connect filmmakers around the world
From setting up meetings with her teaching staff to figuring out the things they could do online, to the creation of courses, Irina points out that the platform’s friendly design made the teachers’ work easier. They were able to create the festival’s courses and share the materials in an organized and safe way. Moreover, the chat function and the CanopyLAB news section allowed the interaction between students and their teachers, allowing constant communication in real-time.
Through the implementation of CanopyLAB’S platform, both the 9th ACAMPADOC International Documentary Film Festival and the Film School went ahead successfully.
“This experience was highly appreciated by our students. In fact, they were so impressed with our performance that we were invited to the University of Costa Rica to give a presentation on participatory methodologies, where I highlighted how CanopyLAB was the platform that gave us the seed to grow in an environment that was new to us and obtain the results we achieved, which exceeded our production goals. Many people in this business are surprised by what we have achieved given that it has not been possible for them yet ”, Irina concludes.
ACAMPADOC has many plans for 2021 and because of the success they had with the 2020 festival, they hope that new students will sign up and beat the records that they achieved last time.
“This experience was highly appreciated by our students.

CanopyLAB’s Checklist for picking the right digital learning platform
This past week, we have been extending a helping hand to the amazing HR staff and teachers who face the tough choice of picking a digital learning platform or learning management system for the company or institution in a two part series called Picking the right digital learning platform 1 & 2.
Picking the right digital learning platform (part 2/2)
In the first part of this series, we explored some of the easier, but still key things to look for in a digital learning system:the pricing, the payment model and whether it is cloud based.
Picking the right digital learning platform (part 1/2)
