If there’s anyone leaving an organization, there’s a decent chance they’re a new hire. Learning leaders can play a key role in helping to extinguish some assumptions about this employee group and boost its retention rate in the process.
Last year, of all the employees who left their jobs, more than 50 percent of them did so within their first year at the organization, Equifax reported. Maybe these new hires get some introductory onboarding their first week, are shown around the office, get introduced to their colleagues and receive some basic training, but engagement greatly diminishes after that, said Elissa Tucker, research program manager at the nonprofit human resources research organization APQC.
