The onboarding experience is a vital time in a new employee’s life at a company. Having a stellar welcome package will get your new employee excited and motivated to work for their new mission. In those first few hours and days, your newest team member is testing your brand just as much as you are assessing their abilities! Within the first week of employment, 29% of new hires have decided if their job is a good fit. Within the first month, the remaining 70% will also make their conclusion. That means that organizations need to be doing everything in their power to woo and impress their new talent. Turnover and retention rates rely on the success or failure of new employee welcome experiences!
