Fact: 1/3rd of all external hires are no longer with the organization after 2 years. What can you do about it? In a word: onboarding; although poorly understood, subject to narrow definitions, and with limited best practice understanding or management rigor. Consultants Mark Stein & Lilith Christiansen have worked with leading companies on it, and they've synthesized their work into a ready to use system.
With Successful Onboarding, you can:
- Rewrite the employer-employee compact—to everyone's advantage
- Reduce time-to-productivity—while increasing the level of productivity and retention
- Make improvements at the systemic level—with gains realized with regularity
- Enroll new hires in your company's strategic plan
Successful Onboarding provides a business case, a systemic approach to the entire process, and instructive inside stories from Apple, Starbucks, Netflix, Microsoft, Baird, Bank of America, John Deere, and dozens of other industry leaders.
