Onboarding Matters, Y’all

Recruiting top talent is important, but onboarding is how you’ll successfully integrate new employees.

Let’s explore why effective onboarding is pivotal:

1. Drives Employee Engagement

Engaged employees are more invested in their roles. Studies show that highly engaged teams see 81% lower absenteeism. A structured onboarding program sparks new hire engagement early on.

2. Keeps Folks Around

Losing new hires is costly, with turnover reaching up to 40% of an employee’s salary. Onboarding boosts retention, reducing turnover expenses by up to 50% for some companies. Set clear expectations and welcome new hires before day one.

3. Boosts Productivity

Onboarding provides a roadmap to success. It clarifies goals, training, and feedback, enabling managers to support new hires. Formal onboarding can improve productivity by up to 62%, according to Harvard Business Review.

4. Builds and Strengthens Company Culture

Onboarding introduces your mission and values. Following a consistent process makes new hires feel welcomed and valued. This integration is key for upholding our culture.

5. Creates a Great Experience

Solid onboarding makes new hires feel confident they made the right career move. It gets them excited to contribute their skills and lets them know you’re committed to their success. First impressions matter!

Onboarding is not just paperwork, it’s investing in people. Now let’s prepare to welcome your new teammates and set them up for success!
