The research backs it up with some pretty compelling arguments. An awesome onboarding experience can improve employee performance by 11.5%, and a longer and more consistent employee onboarding program allows new hires to gain full proficiency 34% faster than those in shorter programs.

And while any onboarding process is better than nothing, I'd ask you to reflect on this question. Does your onboarding program excite and actively support your talent brand?

When a company really does an awesome job at onboarding their people it stands out. Going albania phone number list that extra mile, reaching out to them early and starting to build the company-talent relationship before they start their new job makes a huge positive impact. Think of it as HR and management's low hanging fruit. Maybe it's because most people still really don't expect it.

An onboarding checklist is a must, an employee handbook of some kind is probably a good idea too, and a welcome activity with the team is helpful and fun, but to really make a positive impact on your talent brand through onboarding, it needs to feel personal. Everyone wants to feel important and part of the team, especially when they're the new guy. That can be time consuming and difficult for a lot of companies to realistically achieve, or is it?

In this exciting era of connectivity it doesn't have to be. I encourage you to get creative and embrace technology as a way to bridge the gap, to bring your future talent into the fold early, and to get a jump start on integrating into their new role and team. They might just be pleasantly surprised and just that more successful because of it. That sounds like good business to me.
