Stop Losing Employees on Day One: Onboarding Strategies to Maximize Retention, Referrals and Growth
The job market is the hottest it has been in over a decade, and it's a candidate's market. With this comes an understandable temptation for employees to seek greener pastures, even those employees who have only just joined your team. Strategic effort needs to be put into welcoming, integrating, educating and assimilating your new hires into your organization. First impressions made in the employee's first hours and days are not something you get to do over. Do it right and the honeymoon lasts a long while. Do it wrong and you increase your chances of losing new hires and/or leaving a bad taste in their mouths when they are highly impressionable.
