Improving Onboarding

Monday, February 1, 2016

Onboarding is a difficult process, and most organizations don’t think they perform the task effectively. According to an ADP study, 91 percent of managers, 81 percent of HR administrators, and 75 percent of employers surveyed said they didn’t believe their organization performed the onboarding process well. Nearly 80 percent of regular employees said they saw room for improvement in their companies’ onboarding processes. One of the ways to improve the process is to simply slow it down. Onboarding is often rushed, leaving employees insufficiently trained. According to a study by Learnkit, 89 percent of employees think it’s important that employers support their learning and development, and 53 percent said they would enjoy their jobs more if they had better training. This study also showed that training and development can even trump monetary compensation. The survey showed 66 percent of employees valued learning over a paycheck. However, this learning and how it’s packaged must be taken seriously. When training is rushed or unfocused, employees can feel like their time is being wasted.
