Think of the resources that are spent each year acquiring talent. The time, money, and man power that goes into finding the best candidates to hire can be significant. Yet once that person accepts an offer, the focus often shifts back to the next hire in the pipeline, rather than setting the current new employee up properly. It seems counter-intuitive that many companies spend heavily on the hiring process only to short-change one of their most important investments post-hire. It’s a task that, when done correctly, improves retention, increases employee engagement, and strengthens a company’s bottom line. We're talking, of course, about onboarding.
