What issues are you facing right now? "Ensuring that new staff have a positive employee onboarding experience"

My top priority is “Enhancing the customer experience via solid onboarding and retention”

Why a good employee onboarding experience can increase staff retention

A study by Glassdoor revealed that organisations with a strong employee onboarding process improves new hire retention by 82%, and productivity by 70%.

First impressions are crucial in determining whether a new hire will stay in your company, or not. And the faster they feel welcome in their new role and team. The quicker they will be able to bring value to your brand.

Failure to increase retention harms your business sustainability

Research estimates that losing an employee can cost from six to nine months of their salary. So, it makes sense to invest in retaining them to reduce your recruitment costs and protect profit margins.

High staff turnover has always been characteristic of the hospitality industry. However, the persistent staff shortages we are experiencing make increasing staff retention even more important.

If you don’t have a solid onboarding strategy, coupled with an engaging learning and development plan and opportunities for progression, employees are unlikely to stay in your business for long. The result will be higher recruitment and training costs, inconsistent service and standards which will eventually lose you customers.
