Onboarding is a critical step in the employee lifecycle. Successful integration significantly increases the likelihood of long-term retention and accelerates skills development. This white paper details the components of a structured onboarding process—pre-integration, first day, first few months—and the tools for measuring its effectiveness.
Subject
How can you organize pre-boarding (before the first day) to create a connection from the moment the offer is accepted and reduce the risk of withdrawal? What are the essential elements of the first day and the first week? How can you structure the first 90 days with clear milestones and a buddy system? How can you measure the effectiveness of your onboarding? This white paper is for HR directors and managers involved in integrating new employees.
Key points to remember
- 20% of new recruits leave the company within the first 45 days due to insufficient onboarding.
- Pre-boarding (between signing the contract and the first day) is crucial for maintaining engagement and reducing no-shows
- The first 90 days: a period of learning and cultural integration, not just an evaluation of the probationary period.
- Buddy system: assigning a mentor from day one is one of the most effective factors for successful integration
