Turnover costs are higher than ever, and it’s difficult to find, hire and train skilled labor. An effective retention strategy is crucial in combatting these unnecessary efforts and costs — so where does a retention strategy begin? It starts with onboarding — and preparing your managers and leadership team to facilitate it.
Preparing managers to onboard new employees is an important task, but often overlooked among the many responsibilities a manager has. In many cases, organizations may assume managers already know how to effectively onboard a new hire. That isn’t always the case. Creating a guide or an onboarding agenda help. This ensures new employees are onboarded consistently and seamlessly throughout the organization.
