Onboarding is one of the most overlooked and under valued people processes that exists within organisations. The effect that it can have on employee performance, employee retention and an organisations brand can be crucial in today’s competitive market.
A few stats…
- Employees who have a good onboarding experience are 69% more likely to stay on for at least three years
- A good onboarding experience can increase employee performance by up to 11%
- It can cost up to ￡50,000 for a new hire, a good onboarding experience is intrinsically linked to retention, meaning a reduction in costs (HROnboard, 2017)
The purpose of this blog is to offer my understand of what onboarding is, take a look at we are so bad with it and conclude with three simple ways that we can improve onboarding.
As always keen to hear your thoughts on good/bad onboarding experiences so please comment below.
