Onboarding is a critical piece of the employee experience maybe even the most important part of the employee journey! With the average tenure of US employees sitting at just above 4 years, HR leaders and teams are under tremendous pressure to maximize their investment in new hires and prevent costly turnover.
When new hires rate their onboarding experience as “exceptional,” they are 2.5x more likely to consider their place of work “extremely satisfying.” The opposite is also true—when onboarding doesn’t go well, only ⅓ of new hires feel ready for their roles, creating unsatisfied employees who don’t ramp-up quickly.
