Why onboarding might be more important than recruitment

Gone are the days when employees settled in for the long haul. Employees today have high expectations, and employers need to meet and exceed those demands to retain their talents.

There’s a tendency to focus on the hiring process and the activities leading up to the signed contract, but what about the initial time at the workplace? Considering the investment that goes into hiring, making sure an employee doesn’t leave prematurely is key. Companies that can bridge the gap between a signed contract and the first few weeks at the workplace are more likely to retain the talent they worked hard to acquire. Studies show that successful onboarding can increase employee retention by 80% (Glassdoor).

The purpose of this webinar is to help you make sure your organization keeps good people around by increasing employee engagement. We’ll walk you through:

• the most important steps of the preboarding & onboarding processes
• common pitfalls
• practical solutions
• Q&A
