First Impressions to Lasting Connections: Mastering Onboarding & Offboarding

Shannon Duckett, Executive Director of Human Resources at The St. Paul’s Schools

A strong culture isn’t built on first impressions—it’s built on lasting ones. For HR professionals, onboarding and offboarding are pivotal moments that define the employee experience and shape organizational culture. Done well, they build trust, reinforce values, and strengthen community. Done poorly, they can undermine engagement and morale.

Join us for First Impressions to Lasting Connections: Mastering Onboarding & Offboarding with Shannon Duckett, Executive Director of Human Resources at The St. Paul’s Schools. With 17 years of HR experience, spanning across white-collar and blue-collar industries, Shannon brings a unique, holistic view of the employee lifecycle and how to create lasting impact at every stage.

On December 11th at 2 PM ET, tune in for HR at the Table® to begin elevating every transition point into an opportunity for growth, gratitude, and connection — from day one to the very last day.

You’ll learn how to:

Create a consistent and value-driven onboarding experience that reinforces culture.
Apply lifecycle insights to improve engagement, retention, and organizational trust.
Build community and connection across all stages of the employee journey.
