Benefits of Onboarding

Do your onboarding practices give new employees a clear sense of their job responsibilities and your organization’s mission? Our research indicates two important practices may accelerate new employee engagement. Of the common onboarding practices we surveyed, two appeared to make the biggest difference in a smooth transition:

People who received a summary of the organization’s mission said they were able to “significantly contribute to the organization” four weeks earlier (on average) than those who did not. They also were able to figure out how important decisions got made in the organization six weeks earlier than those who did not.

Likewise, people who had a thorough overview of their job responsibilities from another person felt they were able to “significantly contribute” 25 days earlier than those who did not. They also were able to figure out “how important decisions got made in the organization” 37 days earlier than those who did not.
