EMPLOYEE ON-BOARDING

Employee Onboarding is the process of integrating employees into their new work environment and overseeing their progress during that critical first year. It is the last stage of the recruitment process and is the first step toward retention. It goes beyond the orientation program and is the process of aligning, assimilating, integrating, and transitioning a new employee by focusing on:

​

• a strong welcome

• affirming the employee’s right choice in a job

• affirming that the employee fits into the organization

• building a long-term employment relationship

 

Your employees make a commitment to you and your organization when they accept an offer of employment. At the same time, you have made a commitment to them as a valued part of your workforce. Orientation is an introductory stage in the onboarding process of new employee and must be a component of the on-boarding process. However, many organizations stop at the employee orientation and conclude any formal program within the first few weeks of employment.

​

ONBOARDING IMPACTS ROI:

 

The cost of losing an employee in the first year is estimated to be at least three times the salary

• New employees who went through a structured on-boarding program were 58% more likely to be with the organization after three years

• 22% of staff turnover occurs in the first 45 days of employment

• Many companies leave executive on-boarding to chance and as a result experience failure rates in excess of 50% when it comes to retaining new executive talent

​​

Let THR help you develop an employee on-boarding process that will:

​

• Increase employee job satisfaction levels

• Result in higher retention of high-performing employees

• Foster continued employee engagement and commitment

• Lead to faster time-to-productivity

ORIENTATION PROGRAMS

Orientation serves as an important element of the recruitment and retention process. Many employers may recognize this and may even categorize their practice of giving new employees a handbook and having required forms completed as an “orientation program.” But at THR we know the benefits and value a good orientation program brings to an organization.

​

PROGRAMS ARE DEVELOPED SO THAT OUR CLIENTS CAN REAP THESE BENEFITS:

​

• Reduced Startup Costs – Good orientation programs help new employees get up to speed quicker, thereby reducing the costs associated with learning the job.

• Reduced Anxiety – Good orientation programs help to reduce anxiety that results from entering into an unknown situation, and help provide guidelines for behavior and conduct so new employees don’t have to experience the stress of guessing.

• Reduced Employee Turnover – Employee turnover increases when employees feel unvalued, or are placed in positions that impede job performance. Good orientation programs show that the organization values the employee and helps provide the tools necessary for successful performance.

• Reduced Supervisor Time: The better the initial orientation, the less likely supervisors and co-workers will have to spend time teaching the employee, costing additional production downtime.

• Increased Clarity of Job Expectations, Positive Attitudes and Job Satisfaction: It is important that new employees learn as soon as possible what is expected of them, and what to expect from others, in addition to learning about the values and attitudes of the organization. If the employee feels well informed and isn’t met with surprises, increased positive attitudes and job satisfaction will occur thereby increasing their desire to give their best efforts to the employer.
