On-Boarding: A Four-Step Process to Ensure that New Hires Succeed in Their First 90 Days

Duration: 90 minutes

Studies show that 80% of companies do either a poor or mediocre job of acclimating new employees.

Translation: A majority of companies are spending staggering resources on advertising, search fees, interviews, salary negotiations and background checks to find the “perfect” candidate – then throwing it all away by mishandling the candidate’s transition into the organization.

When companies take a “sink or swim” approach for new hires, the failure rate is extremely high, particularly for higher-level employees.

The monetary price tag – often 4 times the person’s salary – is only part of the cost you pay. Failed hires hurt morale. They increase workload. They create stress. And repeatedly losing new hires makes your management team appear incompetent.

The good news is that you can dramatically improve your success rate and avoid the staggering cost of failed hires if you implement a systematic on-boarding process at your company. This session will tell you how to do it.
