It’s your first day at a new job and you’re excited to jump into things and start making an impression with your boss and coworkers. You get dressed up and make sure to head to the office extra early—not even the heaviest of traffic can keep you from being on time for day one! You get into the office, shake some hands, get shown to your desk, fill out some basic forms and think you’re almost ready to get into some real work when all of a sudden you’re forced to sit through a dreary employee orientation presentation full of paragraphs of text, cheesy stock art and eye-rolling animated .gifs. Sound familiar?

Here at Puffingston we believe too many company onboarding presentations miss a major opportunity to connect with new hires in a way that gets them excited about the company and their new role. Most presentations are bland corporate templates missing any hint of personality and made with little (if any) thought to the viewers who have to endure the presentation.

Therefore, we decided to create one of our most in-depth Prezi presentation templates yet…and to help companies and new hires even quicker, we’re offering it for free to the Prezi community!

For this project we partnered with Robin Pierman of TechMePrezi.com to help us develop a framework representative of the common information companies cover during the employee onboarding process. Robin has been working in corporate training environments for decades (both in-person and online) and has a master’s degree in Education from the University of Michigan, so her insights were especially valuable in creating template content that could easily be customized for small and large businesses alike!

For this Prezi template design, we build six sections into the “big picture” focusing on:

• “Welcome” – mission statement and basic company info
• “Background” – company story, products and services
• “Company Structure” – management, departments and position information
• “Company Policies” – policies, procedures and HR information
• “Facilities” – basics on facilities in the office
• “Getting Started” – the information a new employee needs to get going!

The entire presentation is designed to be customizable for an individual company, so text, photos, color schemes and iconography can be adjusted to match a specific brand. In addition, the presentation is designed with a “conversational” architecture—meaning presenters can click on individual sections to navigate directly to that content instead of going through a pre-scripted, linear presentation.

We’re excited about this collaboration and are hopeful it will serve as an enhanced engagement opportunity for companies and new employees! Just enter your email address to download and customize your own copy today!
