On-Boarding - Avoiding a train wreck with your new hire

by Peter Capodice

* 90% of new hires make their decision to stay at a company within the first six months.


The on-boarding process in most organizations today consists of completing forms with HR and a few introductions. Generally speaking there are very few organizations who understand the importance of having an on-boarding process and even fewer who actually have one in place. This is leaving new hires frustrated and vulnerable from the start of their employment and causing unnecessary turnover.

In a benchmark report by the Aberdeen Group, organizations that have created an on boarding roadmap have increased their retention rate by greater than 20% and their “time to productivity” by greater than 20%.

With the cost of turnover of an executive new hire exceeding 150% of annual compensation, combined with likelihood of a new executive departing the organization within an eighteen month period, the implications are enormous. Develop and implement your companies on boarding roadmap today!
