The importance of efficient onboarding
With The Great Resignation comes an ever greater need to hire and onboard people to fill vacant positions. Quality onboarding can not only create more engaged and productive employees, but also help lengthen retention and loyalty too. For example, 53% of HR professionals say employee engagement increases when onboarding is improved, and 69% of employees are likely to stay with a company for 3+ years if they experience great onboarding.
Clearly there is a real need for quality onboarding, and yet 76% of HR leaders say employee onboarding practices are underutilized at their organization.
An automated onboarding assistant can easily provide a consistent and quality onboarding experience while also automatically answering all those commonly asked questions employees have when they start a new job.
Plus, you can also easily check in with new starters over time with new starter surveys that ensure employees are feeling good and allow them to suggest onboarding improvements for the future.
