Onboard new employees to increase productivity and engagement and reduce attrition

December 13, 2017

Consider these statistics and it’s easy to see why successful businesses view onboarding as a business necessity. Onboarding is the process of getting candidates onboard and keeping them onboard right from the moment they have accepted a job offer. The best onboarding starts as soon as the deal is struck and keeps going throughout the first year of employment. Some organisations choose to engage in activities with new hires before the role has even started. This is commonly known as pre-boarding.

Despite the tedious recruiter bashing, we know that our industry is a vibrant, exciting and diverse place to work. An industry that gives people the chance to learn important skills, travel the world and get stuck into business in a way other industries just can’t match. No offence to accountants.

But they can also be fascinating, hilarious and very, very surprising. It’s like an adventure, but with KPI’s.

whitePaper | December 24, 2021
