New Hires Need Effective Onboarding – How to Elegantly Onboard New Hires Quickly and Easily

In this day and age, an onboarding LMS is a must. New hires can only perform their best when they’ve been onboarded effectively and successfully.
Without a proper onboarding process, there is simply no way employees can meet the desired expectations.

It is worth noting that on average;

• New Hires productivity in the 1st month is 30%
• New Hires productivity after 2 months is 50%.
• After 3 months its 75%.

It Typically takes around 12 months to reach full productivity.

One reason for shaping the design of Create LMS was my frustration at the length of time it took to get people effective. It drove me nuts that a sales guy would take at least 3 months before we knew if they could make a difference. The process was highly manual and took many people’s time.

This needed automating, with checks and balances that were engaging and motivational. Today our salespeople are evidencing results within the first 2 weeks and are excited at their own progress. That’s because onboarding in our business (and today most of our clients), now starts at the interview stage. We would be pleased to show you this in action. Just get in touch.

Poor onboarding can lead to high employee turnover rates which in turn affects productivity in general.

The cost of a new hire can be immense. It is reported that on average the full process of hiring a new employee can be as much as $4,125 besides actual onboarding expenses which easily makes the cost of acquiring a new hire go through the roof. Here’s a breakdown.

1. Managers time $1296.
2. Printing, Materials etc $992.
3. Training $1252.
4. Hardware and software $2777.

For any company looking to retain its employees and equip them with the knowledge and skills it takes to do their jobs, having an effective onboarding process is extremely important.

Elegant onboarding allows for a quality work relationship between the employer and employee. It helps in making employees feel valued and respected which in turn motivates them to do their best. In Fact it is reported that;

• Only 30% of employees feel fully supported in onboarding.
• Only 12% of employees feel their company does a great onboarding job.

What does this mean? & How do you compare?

Investing tiny sums and applying a consistent repeatable process is one of the best things you can do to increase productivity, growth and profit.
