Awesome Onboarding

Guess how long it takes a person to make up their mind they will stay in a job? 3 months was once the standard, but now it’s more like 3 days -or maybe 3 minutes! The first impression an employee has of your organization starts right away and if you can’t maintain the momentum your recruiting team worked so hard to establish, you’ll find retention a tough nut to crack. And have you seen what impact turnover has on your bottom line? When onboarding is done correctly, it’s like money in the bank. Here are some things we’ll help you do to reinforce culture:

  • Establish new-hire orientation best practices
  • Determine hand-offs between HR and Divisions
  • Teach expectations of core behaviors
  • Collaborate on non-negotiables per division
  • Reinforce expectations
