Onboarding has a significant impact on retention, employer branding, and quality of hire. It is the first impression between an employee and employer, and the link between talent acquisition and talent management.
Eighty-six percent (86%) of employers believe that new hires make the decision to stay at a company in their first 90 days. Yet, companies are twice as likely to invest in talent acquisition and employee experience than onboarding, and 42% do not have a dedicated onboarding solution at all.
