Strategic Employee Onboarding

Creating Star Players

TIPS FROM THE CORPORATE TRAINING EXPERTS

New employees who experience strong onboarding are 69% more likely to remain at a company for up to three years. 

Poor employee onboarding can lead to the loss of 60% a company’s entire workforce over 4 years

Onboarding programs can increase employee performance by up to 11%

 


Given all the data around the effectiveness of a good employee onboarding program, it still surprises me when I speak to friends in new roles that have some of the worse first day, first week 
or first month experiences with their organizations.  Do any of the following sound familiar?

  • Spending the first hour of day one in the reception area, waiting to be collected by your manager or someone in HR.
  • Sitting in front of your new laptop without access to anything.
  • Spending ten minutes trying to find the closest bathroom to your desk.
  • Starting day one by being told to complete tasks A-Z without any training on process, output requirements or organizational standards.
  • Trying to stay awake through hours of outdated compliance training before you can get down to work.
  • Wondering what you’re going to have for lunch since you have no idea what’s around the office building.
  • Having your three-month review without any idea what you’ve been evaluated on.
  • Starting a meeting with your new manager and then being asked to wait while they rush off to another impromptu meeting.
  • Spending hours of your first day ‘reading about the company’ online, which could have been done well before starting your first day.

Set your new hires up for success with a strong employee onboarding program.  This is one of the most important training programs that your organization will invest in.
