Strategic Onboarding

Onboarding is a Strategic People Plan - And it’s Not Only New-Hire Orientation

True onboarding is way more than completing paperwork and your day 1 orientation. It’s an intentional, structured process that integrates new hires into the organization, equips them with the tools and knowledge they need, and fosters connections with their team and culture. It’s also not only for brand new hires, but for people in new roles they’ve never had. Proper onboarding is a customized plan for each person that can set the stage for long-term engagement, productivity, and retention, making it a critical investment in your team and company’s success.

We Partner With You to Streamline Onboarding to Protect Your Bottom Line:

  1. Create a Consistent Process - develop a customized onboarding framework for your culture, industry and diverse roles.

  2. Leverage Technology - help you connect with your existing platform to explain what you want to automate and track progress on.

  3. Incorporate Mentorship - coach you through pairing new hires with specific employees to provide guidance and ensure positive integration.

  4. Focus on Emotional Connection - prioritize cultural immersion and team building/bonding to create belonging and healthy relationships.

  5. Gather and Act on Information - a specific combination of ways to continuously improve the process.

Onboarding is not new-hire orientation. It’s a series of intentional relationships, experiences, development and check-in’s over a determined period of time to ensure the success of your investment in your people. There’s specialized onboarding for new hire’s as well as new role’s. Intentionality counts!

Think You Don’t Have Time or Resources to Create a Strategic Onboarding Experience?

Be prepared for:

  1. Higher Turnover Rates - Nearly 20% of employee turnover occurs within the first 45 days of employment, often due to inadequate onboarding.

  2. Lost Productivity - Without proper guidance, employees take longer to become proficient, which can result in inefficiencies and missed business goals.

  3. Damaged Morale and Engagement - A poor onboarding experience can leave new hires feeling disengaged and undervalued, leading to lower morale across teams.

The Financial Impact of Not Strategically Onboarding New Talent:

Replacing an employee who leaves due to poor onboarding can cost companies anywhere between $15,000 to $50,000, depending on the role and industry.

Gallup estimates that U.S. companies lose $1 trillion annually due to voluntary turnover, much of which stems from inadequate onboarding experiences.
