Nearly 20% of employee turnover happens within the first 45 days.
On the other hand, 69% of employees are more likely to stay for at least three years, when onboarding is done right.
That’s the power (and the pressure) of onboarding. Today, onboarding is so much more than just being about first impressions. It is the foundation for long-term engagement, performance, and retention. L&D teams cannot afford to have onboarding as a static activity. The stakes are too high because getting new hires up to speed isn’t more than a checkbox task. It is directly tied to productivity, engagement, and long-term retention.
