Onboarding

Onboarding is often seen as a checklist item — something to complete once contracts are signed and systems are set up. But poor onboarding does more than cause a slow start; it impacts retention, productivity and long-term engagement.

Only 12% of employees strongly agree their organisation does a great job onboarding new hires. Additionally, research indicates companies with structured onboarding see 82% higher retention and over 70% greater productivity. Still, many programmes remain inconsistent, underdeveloped, or simply overwhelming.

Today, most companies recognise the need for a well-established onboarding process, but few spend the time to establish the offboarding process. Neglecting this crucial stage of the employee's life could be a mistake

The recruitment process is becoming increasingly complex and therefore harder to attract and retain talented staff. Successful HR onboarding is a key issue for a lot of companies and many feel that the process of integrating their new employees is not as ideal as they would like.
