Mastering Employee Onboarding: A Crucial Investment for Long-Term Success

While some companies excel in this area, others may fall short. Employee onboarding is more than just a standard 1-hour meeting on the first day; it involves seamlessly integrating new hires into the company culture and supporting their transition into a new role and a new business.

In this post, we'll explore why effective onboarding is essential and the benefits it brings to both employees, and the company.

Increased Employee Retention:

Employees who experience a supportive and welcoming approach to a new company, is more likely to stay with the company in the long run. A well-executed onboarding plan fosters a sense of belonging to a great team and will translate into increased employee loyalty. According to Gallup, only 12% of employees agree that their organization has a good onboarding process. This indicates that 88% of employees believe that their employers need significant improvements with their onboarding program. 

Better Alignment with Company Goals:

Onboarding acts as a guide for newly hired employees, helping them understand the company's mission, vision, values, and goals. This knowledge creates a stronger connection, instilling a sense of purpose and investment in their work. With the addition of establishing clear goals and measures for success, inviting others from different departments and support along the way, it will truly benefit the new hire’s objectives against the Company’s business strategies.

Cost Reduction:

Effective onboarding significantly reduces the likelihood of early employee departures, ultimately saving on recruitment costs for the company. According to Harvard Business Review, poor onboarding can leave your new hires with lower confidence levels to perform in their new roles, worsened levels of engagement, and an increased risk of jumping ship when they see a new, more exciting position elsewhere.
