#2 Shortened Onboarding Times
Onboarding is more than just a month-long activity. However, many businesses refuse to extend onboarding past the 30-day timeline. In fact, only over 35% of companies continue the onboarding process after this time period.
This puts pressure on the organisation to squeeze out all the vital information required during this one-month period.
At the same time, it also puts a great deal of pressure on the new employee, who would often sacrifice a large amount of time that could be spent more productively to ensure that they are properly onboarded as soon as possible.
Given the average of over 50 activities that need to be completed during the onboarding process, this would mean that both HR and the employee have to deal with added burdens during the first 30 days of the new employee’s experience.
