What is this meeting about?

From warm welcome to faster deployment

How the largest grid operator Alliander reinvented onboarding with technology, storytelling and games.

How do you onboard thousands of new colleagues in a complex, rapidly changing organization and make them feel connected from day one and be productive faster?

In this online session, Remco van den Hout, Learning Innovator and Founder of Digital Chefs, takes you behind the scenes of Alliander's Join the Grid onboarding program. A program that combines digital onboarding with an interactive game on the introduction day and is now internationally recognized.

You will gain insight into:
- The challenges Alliander faces due to energy transition and rapid growth

- A short demo of the digital learning journey Join the Grid
- The 6 design steps behind the physical onboarding game Time is Now
- An impression of how new employees learn, collaborate and connect
