Accelerate employee productivity with smarter onboarding

Onboarding is more than an administrative task–it’s your organization’s first impression. A fragmented or generic process can lead to disengagement and increased early attrition. 

Research indicates that 80% of new employees who experience poor onboarding plan to leave​. Yet, only 12% strongly agree their company manages onboarding effectively.

Without an engaging, skills-based, and structured approach, your new hires may face confusion, delayed productivity, and decreased engagement—outcomes that carry measurable costs.

The cost of a getting it wrong

When onboarding falls short, productivity stalls and attrition risks rise. Delays in performance, disengagement, and early exits create hidden costs that quickly compound–especially at scale.

  • It can take up to 23 months for new a new hire to reach their full performance potential
  • Only 29% of new hires say they feel fully prepared and supported to excel in their new role
  • Only 12% of employees strongly agree that their organization does a great job of onboarding new employees
  • 80% of new hires who receive poor onboarding plan to quit

Make onboarding your strategic edge

Hiring great talent isn’t enough anymore. You’ve got to keep them engaged, growing, and clear on how they contribute from day one. That’s what a modern onboarding experience delivers.

And in this environment where skill needs shift overnight and top talent has options—clarity, connection, and speed aren’t perks. They’re make-or-break.

So ask yourself: Is your onboarding helping people stay—or quietly nudging them out the door?
