Onboarding an employee is like making a first impression. It’s about putting your best foot forward – previewing the values and culture of the organization to the employee. And like first impressions, onboarding can be critical to an employee’s relationship with a company.
Despite organizations being aware of its importance, only 12% of employees strongly agree their company’s onboarding was effective.
Yet, when employees do receive great onboarding, 69% of them are likely to stay for at least three years at the company.
