Employee retention is a top priority for HR leaders. It’s often difficult enough to find the talent that businesses need in the first place, so it’s crucial that once new hires start in the business they become productive and settled quickly. Yet research regularly shows that up to 1 in 4 of new hires leave a new role in the first 6 months, while up to 90% will use their experience of the first few months to decide whether to stay with the business in the long run.
