Onboarding - statistics & facts
Onboarding is the processes an organization has in place to integrate new employees upon commencement. Typically an onboarding program will involve some combination of: showing a new employee the requirements of their role, teaching them broader company processes and making them familiar with the company’s culture. A variety of methods are used to achieve this, with hands-on practice and computer-based training being the most popular in the United States. Many HR professionals view onboarding as important for making new staff quickly feel at ease in the company and enabling new staff to start being productive as soon as possible. Employer efforts in the regard seem to be well received, with a majority of new employees worldwide finding their employer was helpful in getting them prepared for their new role.
