There is no time period more paramount to an employee’s career than onboarding, yet so many companies are failing at the process. With up to 30% of new hires quitting in their first six months and 22% leaving in the first 45 days, it’s clear that an effective onboarding routine is not only critical to employee productivity and success, but also for retention.
The importance of having a program
In 2012, a Workforce Mobility Survey by Allied Van Lines found only 28% of companies claiming to have a highly successful onboarding program. Even more shocking is last year’s CareerBuilder survey that found 36% of employers have no structured onboarding program.
