When it comes to starting a new job, the first impressions matter. This is especially the case when it comes to the impression that a company makes on new employees during onboarding procedures.
According to new research, onboarding procedures such as the welcome of new employees, and training them have long-term effects. The quality of the onboarding of an employee can influence their motivation in the long term and even how long they intend to linger.
A New survey Software seeker of 1,010 employees who have been hired over the past two years showed that the onboarding experiences of employees varied greatly. While almost half (46%) found procedures for boarding procedures, and about a third (34%) said that their onboarding was well structured, many described the experience in negative terms. About a third (29%) said that the process was unorganized, 26% described it as rushed and 21% called the underwhelming.
Shockingly, only 28% of the new employees said that the onboarding process has prepared them for their role. Two -thirds (67%) of the respondents even said that the procedures did not accurately represent their responsibilities or the company as a whole.
A bad onboarding experience can influence how long employees want to stay with the company, the survey showed. Almost half of the employees (48%) who said they had a bad onboarding experience, said they wanted to leave the company within six months.
However, employees with positive onboarding experiences felt different. Almost 4 in 10 (39%) said that an effective onboarding increased their desire to keep keeping in the long term. And more than half of the employees (55%) with a positive onboarding experience said they would like to stay at work in the long term. For comparison: only 10% of the new employees with negative onboarding experiences felt in the same way.
77% of employees who had a positive onboarding experience even said they felt more connected to the company after the onboarding. Likewise, 61% of employees said that the impact of onboarding has an impact on their future work ethics and involvement.
Interesting enough, employees are similar to Re -Engburg. Seven out of 10 said that after their first six months at a new job they would give a re-on-board experience to help them in line more with the company. That might be good news for companies that have been wrong the first time.
